Australia has more camels than Saudi

It’s true, Australia exports their camels to Saudi Arabia, it is a fact. I did not believe it, but it makes more sense now that I know that, because we have booked a sunset camel ride along the surf in Port Stephen’s for tonight. I didn’t tell you this as I thought it was so touristy, but now I know the camel fact!

Wade is concerned how he is being portrayed in my reports, so I have to add that he gently woke me up this morning, playing John Legend, very romantic.

Just picked up the hire car from Waterloo, as expected, Wade started to negotiate on the vehicle as he wanted something different, so we ended up with an MG something, better than the Yaris he was trying to give us at check in. Wade is not driving, we have roped in Ellis for that as the opposite side of the road thing was bad enough when we first moved to Canada, Wade stands no chance of mastering it at this stage in the heart of Sydney, we will wait till the open road. Pleased to be getting out of Sydney, as lovely as it is, I need to get out of the city and hustle and bustle and see what Oz really has to offer.

Last night at the Opera House was superb, we had a pre show drink outside and how iconic it was, sitting at the bar in the harbour with the Opera House and bridge in the background. Quite the experience. The comedians were funny in the Just For Laughs show, some had pretty strong Australian accents so a little difficult to follow but overall, very entertaining as there were a couple of British ones too.

Now sitting in a cute cafe waiting for Ellis to arrive so we can start the short 2hr drive to Port Stephen’s. Looking forward to the camels!Læs mere
