Report from the road...
Hey all,
So the adventure has begun - my first holiday in 8 years. I'm on day 3 of a roadtrip from wollongong to melbourne. The place I'm staying tonight has wifi so I'm psyched. Especially since my iPAQ (pocket pc) has never worked with wifi before and now it does! I also turned it into a GPS navigation system before I left. Has been extremely handy.
First night I stayed in Bateman's Bay. Dinner was from next door and was kinda gross. Then I couldn't sleep. It's taken a while for me to relax into this whole thing. Second night in Merimbula was heaps better. The motel had a great view of the ocean and I just felt very comfortable there. I had Pollo E Funghi delivered for dinner which was fantastic. I've been having trouble finding lunches that are appealing in places that aren't too crazy crowded. Trouble with trsvelling in peak season.
I've been to Mogo Zoo (home of endangered animals and heaps of big cats - white lions were my favourite), Foxgloves Spires (awesome gardens) and Merimbula Aquarium.
Today I crossed the 'Mexican' border from NSW into Victoria and I'm staying in Sale. My room is freaking huge and has a spa. Plus the wifi. Yay.
Oh, I'm LOVING getting breakfast in my rooms. I've always loved that - as a kid I used to beg my parents for room service breakfast when on holidays.
Tomorrow I head down to the most SE part of Australia. Wilsons Promontory (aka The Prom as Cath told me). The place I'm staying is awesome. After that I head to Phillip Island - home of the parade of the penguins and a koala sanctuary. Then its off to Melbourne to visit friends - especially the lovely Cath, which is very exciting.
I think that's it for now. I'll post some photos when I get to Melbourne.
I miss you all heaps!
