Coolangatta - Port Macquarie

It was an early start this morning as our bus was due at 8:35am. We have gotten waking up, showering, breakfast and last of the packing down to just over an hour though for maximum time in bed. It was a long 10 hour stint on the Greyhound, so luckily I downloaded 14 episodes of Blacklist on Netflix and Blake made a picnic lunch to keep us going.

10 hours later we arrived in Port Macquarie. Tired from our travels we went for a cheeky KFC dinner, which was disappointing as their KFC menu over here is rubbish! On our way to the bus stop, we passed Coles where a lady with her two children had just finished their shopping. She kindly asked us if we'd like a lift which was really nice and really handy as the buses are hourly here and we had about 35 minutes to wait for the next one. All squeezed in, Blake with children either side of her in the back we were on our way. One child was super talkative and was having a good old chat with Blake in the back. The young boy however had a look of terror on his face the whole journey as if he thought we may be murderers or something.

We made it to the Airbnb and met our house buddy's for the night, Michael and Ruth from Belgium. Feeling pretty worn out we retired for some more Netflix and an early night. Halfway through an episode I suddenly had a thought that we may be in the wrong bedroom. We got Airbnb up on Blakes phone and looked at the room next door and realised we were. Knowing that more guests were due tomorrow and had booked the room we were now fully at home in, we jumped up, put everything back the way it was and did 20 trips ferrying our stuff to our actual room trying to be really quiet as it was really late. Luckily no one noticed.Read more
