Last three days -- toms birthday..

We managed to make it through our first night, although whilst outside the weather had drastically dropped from the 30 degrees we'd experienced in the day our campervan had managed to retain all the heat during the day and it felt as if we were roasting alive.. however, this wasn't too much of a concern to us at the time as we were absoloutely shattered. 

The next day we realised we were so near to Bondi beach it would have been rude not to pay it a visit, we walked along the beach taking in everything we say and found out that whilst Australia is warm the sea is not!! We enjoyed it all the same and Tom fell in love with the fitness work out area on the beach but wasn't to sure he'd fit in with all the body builders! We had to collect our bankcards from Sydney and realised the day before that parking in the city wasn't really an option unless you paid an extoritanate amount of money, so we attempted to figure out the puplic transport system in Australia.. two buses, the underground and monorail later we'd gotten lost and retraced our steps to find ourselves in the centre of Sydney once again, to then realise our bank cards were to be picked up in Brisbane!! 

To prevent our trip being a total waste of time we had a look around the beautiful city and made our way down to the harbour and discovered to our delight that all Mc Donalds have free wireless, no need to pay for internet again! 

We then came to the conclusion that we'd make our way out of Sydney on the evening of the 31st and go to a near by campsite just an hour away, but this did not go to plan at all.. after driving for at least two hours we found the campsite to be closed, by this point it was around 11 pm and we had a campervan and no campsite.. so we took to the map and found the place we wanted to be,  summed up we drove till 2am to a rest stop on the pacific highway and began driving at 5am the next morning and finally made it to our chosen destination of Maquarie Port by 10 am. 

We found ourselves a lovely campsite with a pool and beautiful beach meters away and were in the sea within in mintues.. our first day really relaxing. 

Whilst I'm sure you are able to realise that not everything isn't quite going to plan you all already know that myself and Tom aren't the most organised, however we're really enjoying ourselves and are so far managing our money well!
