      Day 26

      Coffs Harbour to Yamba

      October 17, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      We woke up in Coffs Harbour. We drove to Park Beach reserve and done a workout wirh the cards which was so hard!
      After I had a shower which was like ice but it was grand as I was so warm!
      We then drove to Sawtell beach again where Jake done some surfing. But he didn't stay long as the waves were so big and just kept pulling to the rocks. Even the guys that surf there always said they were nearly pulled up to Queensland when they got out.
      We drove to Coffs Harbour jetty and walked up this big hill and got nice view of all the beaches. Then we walked down along the jetti and we saw a few turtles and sting rays!
      We walked back to the car and we were deciding whether to stay another night if Coffs Harbour or not. So we just decided to move on and we can always stay here again on our way back down. We drove to Yamba and arrived just before 6. As it was Saturday we decided to treat ourselves to a pizza from the Italian on the hill. It ended up not being that nice but there was no clean up at least.
      We drove to watch some surfers and read our books.      Read more

      Coffs harbour

      November 4, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      We woke up at Sawtell beach. I woke at 5.30 needing to go toilet and there was a fab sunrise. Jake got out the camera and got some photos. We then lay down till 7.30. We woke then and read a bit and caught up in our phones too. The American presidential election is on today. Hopefully Biden will get in and trump will go.
      We got into our swim stuff and decided to get into the rock pool. It was so nice and refreshing. There was a man in there swimming so we chatted with him for a while. He was telling us about how the aboriginal people years ago use to burn away the grass of fallen leave around them before they moved on and then that ment fires wouldn't take off as much when there was dry weather and how the government etc are realising that they are smarter than they had given them credit for and should be doing what they done. Also he was saying about how the Midlands of Aus get temps of up to 50 degrees in Summer and one time he stopped in a garage when we was there and there was a 7 year old girl that had never seen rain!!!! Most of the employment is farming too so getting droughts like that dosent do them any favours.
      We then had our yoghurts and we read our books just at the van.
      We decided to spend the day there then as it was so nice and we could get into the rock pool when we were too warm.
      We drove to Coles in Coffs Harbour to get bits for dinner and we cooked it in a park beside it. A little boy was waiting for his Dad to collect him so we stayed with us while we cooked and ate as he was afraid of another boy beating him up. He didn't stop talking 😅 but was very nice.
      Then we packed up the van after he was collected and we drove to beside the beach and parked where we stayed when we were here a a few weeks ago. I woke a few times during the night with the heat so I slept the other end of the bed.      Read more

      Sawtell

      November 6, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      We woke up and done some stretching. Jake went for a run and i done my exercises.
      When he came back we went to the pool which is at the entrance of the campsite. It was nice.
      After we came back to the van and had our celery and some oranges. It was really warm so we sat in the sun and read our books. We stayed there for most of the day and sat in the van with the van for some of it too. Jake finished his next book aswell!
      We made lunch and after Jake had a little nap and I tried to train the birds to come close to me but it didn't work great as the turkeys kept trying to be involved.
      Then we drove and went to the shopping centre to get dinner. Before we bought the food we got reflexology done and then an idetox where you put your feet in water and the toxins come out. It was definitely a scam and we don think either of our people were trained 😅 but it was something different and we relaxed.
      After we came back to the campsite. There was an oven in the communal kitchen so we had chips and pizza for dinner. We cleaned up and Jake called David Power to chat about his contract.      Read more

      Sawtell to Port Macquarie

      November 9, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Jake woke and went for a run. I couldn't yet with my hip so I am still doing the exercises.
      When he came back we went down to the sea and Jake got in and I put my legs in. We went back up and got our showers, had our banana and packed up the van.
      The bites that I got yesterday have got bigger so we rang around some doctors to see could we get an appointment. Everywhere was booked up but we managed to get one just outside Port Macquarie and we were planning on going there anyway so it worked out ok. I was a bit delayed at my appointment.
      The doctor said it was an allergic reaction to the bites so she gave me steroids and a cream. After I was done there I went to a pathology clinic and got my bloods checked too.
      We then made dinner and then we drove by a river where we saw dolphins so we stopped an watched them for a while. We drove into Port Macquarie to stay there for the night.      Read more

      Time to relax in Sawtell

      April 11, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

      A walk to Sawtell beach learnt us that a UAV Pilot checks the ocean for sharks with a drone. And a man we passed that was drawing explained (and showed!) what surrealistic drawings are. Julius got inspired and started surrealistic drawing straight away!Read more

      Coffs Harbour to Sawtell

      November 5, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      We woke up and I was bursting to wee so we drove down to the bathroom and used it. When I came back we just relaxed and we turned on out phones etc. The van was still running and then randomly stopped so we had to rev it loads and do circles around the car park.
      We then drove and got a coffee and drove to Coffs Harbour and had a small look around the shops. After that we drove to Sawtell beach and pulled everyrhing out to take nice photos of the van for selling it. I forgot to take a pic of all the stuff but it is mad how much stuff we have fitted into the van.
      We just got the last few bits in when it started to lash rain, we were very lucky. It was due to rain for the evening so we said we would book into a campsite so we booked into the big 4 campsite in Sawtell. There was a deal if you stay 3 nights you get the fourth free so we decided to do that.
      We got a burrito for lunch as we were so beyond hungry we were nearly seeing stars. Then we went to the shops to get bits for dinner and we drove to the campsite and set up. We got our showers and made dinner.
      We read our books for a while after, we were going to watch something on the iPad but we were too tired so we went to sleep instead.      Read more
