Vacation Village Port Macquarie

... die Motoren wieder starten, noch immer in dichtem Rauch... <br>An diesem Tag fuhr ich bis nach Port Macquarie, einen Tag später dann weiter bis nach Sydney von ich am späten Nachmittag des 25.9. nach einer interessanten Fahrt über die Harbour Bridge und anschliessend mitten durch Downtown Sydney den ersten guten Eindruck dieser Metropole erhalten habe.<br><br>Auf diesen beiden längeren Strecken habe ich mich ...

Still packing &amp; unpacking.........trying to head the golden rule of not taking too much. Is 7 shirts, 2 pair of jeans, 3 shorts toooooo much? who knows. Mandy is containing her excitement so far My back feels good but it will be a challenge with the 30hrs ...

... breakwall. The wall was made of many rocks and local people and visitors are invited to paint them. The bright colours looked great up against the green of the sea and blue sky. We headed inland for a walk around a park with lots of native trees including the Eucalyptus trees but unfortunatly we did not spot any of the koalas that live there. They must have been doing what ...

... graceful. One American guy wanted more though and started egging the whales on to do some tricks ! They didnt oblige !. While i was doing the whale watch Clare took max and emily to a dolphin and sealion park. Max loved it and even fed the dolphins and some mini penguins. Again we got some good pics. Next stop is the blue mountains before heading into sydney for a few days ahead of flight to New Zealand/Christchurch. again will attempt to stick some pics in when i can.....

... we left that afternoon to head to Byron Bay. The tour finished in byron bay but some of us were staying on a a few more days so there were 9 of us sharing a dorm, which is really nice, its like a studio appartment! so it has been a bit of a party dorm. me and helen are staying in byron bay till thursday, and our friend nic is coming to stay with us here for a few days so more excitment. next we head to Brisbane and pick up our campervan.

... we met the owner of the hotel, Grant, who invited us for free cocktails in the lounge. We had a great discusion with the General Manager and our fellow guests and then a scrumptious dinner. By the way ALL of the staff at the hotel were very friendly, and helpful. Probably the best staff that we've encountered on our trip so far. If you're ever in Port Macquarrie this would be the place to stay. The staff convinced us that there is much to see and we agreed to stay ...

... alle verhalen en het geweldige doorzettingsvermogen van de koala's en de vrijwilligers. leipen we onze weg terug naar huis via de early settlers begraafplaats en langs de tuinen van Port. De volgende dag zijn we de stad eens in geweest. Er was een Starbucks, en, guess what, ik had nog nooit een Starbucks Coffee gehad. Dus jawel: doe mijn maar een Mocca white chocolate frappachino! Verder zijn we de vreemdste winkeltjes in geweest, niet gek wat ze ...

... aber wenigstens ein wirkliches zu hause... und michelle supernett und der sprechende wellenstittich erst... irgendwann in der ancht aht es dann doch aufgehoert zu regenen udn so gings zu meiner ersten offiziellen surfstunde jupie naja am board stehen konnte ich ja eigentlich schon und diese technik wurde noch etwas verfeinert und es gelang mir sogar schon einige male eine kurve zu machen.... ansonsten ist port macquarie wirklich nicht spannend und am nachmittag gab es wieder regen :(

... with 6 big batteries can shine for 150 hours or around there. The thing that was our excuse to stay there for so long was the wait for the credit card to arrive. A forthnight passed by like it was a weekend. But the day came when we had to leave. Sad to leave behind this really great place, we went up the east coast. But i for one also felt like our Aussie Adventure was really just starting right now. _______________________________________ _____________________ ...

... back we got some food, bought some beer and went back to the hostel to relax for a bit after our long walk! As the time turned to evening we ent to the supermarket to get some pizza and garlic break which went very nicely with the beer! As i was leaving for Coffs Harbour the next day I packed my bags that evening and then sat outside chatting to Peter who was the English dude, Tom and old Ozzie who was always on the move, Paul &amp; an American who i didn't ...
