Well back to the story, so after the lovely breakfast that took me so long to prepare we set off, back on the road of fun! we drove to narooma but there was nothing there, just some boats and some people, so off we popped to the zoo, mogo zoo actually! and it was a day of pure animal watching fun in the sweltering sun sun sun! We couldn't have picked a hotter day to walk around a zoo, it was a sweaty hot zoo adventure, we saw white lions, feeding times with bears and otters and a croc! we had an ice lolly, dave practised his wildlife photography and i took some tourist type pics, which will soon appear on the pod and then hot and happy we headed back to the campervan and we looked for a place to park up, we ended back in Morya back by the lake and back for fishing but before we settled and fished, we went on a wee pant/knicker shopping trip! but knickers are priceier than real top notch quality gold chains in the land of oz, not a lie, one pair of knickers here in a cheap shop can set u back $17, that's like £7..... woah i hear you cry! Primark you need to break the aussie pants and knicker market asap! So, we gave up on the pant shopping, had a BBQ, fished, there were a couple of card games thrown in and some bad loser faces made by me when i lost nearly every single game, but to be honest i think dave cheats like a crystal palace footballer! Then we swotted some flies that were really invading our personal space by landing on my eyes and trying to live on my mouth and in me ears! it seems to be a new fun game, fly swotting, you just keep waving and they hopefully stay away from your face! Fly attack!
So, once again we awoke in the sweat pool.... we need a campsite tonight with a shower and a real life toilet, i am getting sore legs from the regular wee bucket croutch (sorry to share that but the hi's and lo's of this marvelous adventure must be told, wee bucket croutch pain was becoming a serious injury OW!)
So, we headed back to Naroooooooooooooomaaaa and drove straigt through, we talked of a trip to the land of the home of that little terror the tasmanian devil, would we venture there next??? A few km's later we decideded NO! But whilst dave drove and i sat talking of where we may head next like a bat out of hell, from under the front of the car a massive bug/spider jumped and landed on my feet and i shat myself but so did the bug/spider and it moved away from my feet as quickly as i moved my feet away fom it! phew, close call! It was to be a day of creepy crawly encounters cos round the next corner dave hit a massive dragonfly with the car, insect roadkill and it was the size of a mouse and sat on our windscreen but to our surprise it was not dead, no this dragonfly was just lazy and it would appear it had flown onto our van to catch a free ride or maybe it is a bazaar extreeme sport for dragonflies, campervan jumping??? who knows! but it quicklyflew off a fair way down the road, the crazy six legged bugger!
We took in some sights and saw the tilba tilba view! hhhhhhhhhmmmm, not sure about that one and then went to Bermagui, a fishing port, we drove over a rickerty bridge and around some islands! Had some lunch in Bega, dave spent at least 20mins trying to take a pic of a pelican that proceeded to keep flying away and i laughed, he he! Then we travelled to Meribula, that was a tad rainy and cold, well i say rainy and cold i actually mean rainy and cold for aussie summer which is still pretty warm!
(This is nothing to do with the above tale but I'm just about to eat a vegemite and houmous crumpet and it comes highly recommened by Baz, i'll let you know how it turns out!! )
So, we then headed to Eden, where we found a campsite, oh the joyous joy that filled us as we could finally shower and peel off the layer of dirt and grime that covered our bodies but decievingly made us look like we had some rather cracking tans! We explored, showered, i fell over in the shower like a right tool, it seems after not having one for a few days that i forgot that showers are wet and slippery and i fell and neatly split open my ankle, aquiring the 1st campervan adventure injury in some good form!
We played some cards and got some zzzzzzzzzzzz's!
( yum... Baz has recommened well, this is BONZA everyone should go out and get themselves a crumpet with houmous and vegemte - may work with marmite! yum, lovley! try it!)
So, it was now tues and in a few days we would arrive in Melbourne (where i've been for a few months now) so, what would tomo bring?? would we wake up in the usual sweat???? I know the answer, but i'll fill it in on another page as this is one mightly long entry like. I'm dead sorry it's taken so long, but this week i'll catch you up on where i'm at.... finally! x x x
