June 16th-14th, 2019 We spent the last 2 days at the resort just lounging. I didn’t miss a sunrise this week and it seemed as they kept getting more spectacular. I can’t help but to post more pictures because it was just so beautiful. We made our meals and I have to say that I…
Stops
Tribute to the Essentials
I meant to make this post after leaving South America when we learned what our essential items were after being on the road for over 3 months. I found it interesting that most of our essential things were actually gifts from others. Those who knew more than we did about what we would need or…
Day 126 – The Rainforest, Australia
June 12th, 2019 Today we decided it’s time to venture out from the resort and see some of the surrounding areas. After breakfast we packed a lunch and started out to Dorrigo National Park. It was about an hour from the resort at Coffs Harbour. This park is a World Heritage Site because they have…
Day 122-125, Coffs Harbour, Australia
June 8th – 11th, 2019 Today we woke up and Brendan boiled the water for one more cup of noodles on this car-camping marathon. I couldn’t bear the thought of another PB &J, so we skipped that part of what has become our normal breakfast routine. We were a couple hours from Coffs Harbour where…
Day 121 – Hunter Valley to the Coast, Australia
June 7th, 2019 We spent another night car camping, and woke up to have another cup of noodles and PB &J. Brendan’s Dad and Kathy generously gave us a week in their timeshare condo, and we picked a resort on Australia’s East Coast. Our plan is to travel up the east coast while we are…
Day 120 – Hunter Valley, Australia
June 6th, 2019 After another cup of noodle and PB & J for breakfast, we headed out to do some wine tasting in Hunter Valley. We were super thrilled to see our first kangaroo on the drive! There were actually many of them, and we later learned that you literally see them everywhere. It was…
Day 119 – Blue Mountains, Australia
June 5th, 2019 Happy Birthday to Taylor who we have gotten an update from and she is loving Hawaii and might stay! We woke up and had cup of noodles and PB & J for breakfast. I read about another hike I wanted to do. We packed up (which was easy since it was all…
Day 118 – Blue Mountains, Australia
June 4th, 2019 Today I woke up feeling a little better, but Brendan and I both continued to have lingering, annoying coughs. We felt we were ready to venture out of the city and go to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountain area is a huge national park about 2.5 hours outside of Sydney. It…
Day 117 – Sydney, Australia
June 3rd, 2019 Today we took the car and drove to a different part of city called Bondi Beach. It was a cute little neighborhood on a very nice beach. Parking was hard to find and expensive. Most places had a 2-hour max time to park. We parked for a while and explored some. Brendan…
Day 116 – Sydney, Australia
June 2nd, 2019 Sydney Australia is 18 hours ahead of Seattle, so our sleep cycle was a little messed up. Even though we got into our hostel late the night before, I still woke up around 3am. I tried to keep resting and looked up stuff to do in Sydney trying to come up with…
