Our road to Sydney:
(I'm going to apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes)
We arrived in Sydney on the 13 Dec and we are still battling with jet lag. At first we couldn't sleep and now all we want to do is sleep. We spent the first few days looking for a car which was exhausting because of the jet lag and also the fact that Sydney is just so spread out.
Sydney is very beautiful but also very expensive so in a way we were happy to leave.
The car we got is big like everything else here. It is a Ford Falcon 4.0L V6. Luckily we got it with autogas which is a whole lot cheaper than the normal fuel.This is a photo of me checking the water. Once we had the car we did what we do best and that was eat (we are still doing that though)
After leaving Sydney with our new can we made our way north to a area called Hunters Valley. Its a wine area kind of like Stellenbosch but the wine is not as nice. The area does make up for the average wine though by its absolutely beautiful landscape. If you could cross the S.A landscape and a Texas ranch you'll have a pretty good idea.
The weather was crappy so sorry for the lack of a blue sky.
Coff's Harbour Pet Porpoise Pool:
The photos below are from this Porpoise pool place thing. It was loads of fun and we both got kissed by nature. Monika smelled a bit fishy afterwards and then got attacked by a Northern Aussie Black head Python. Only joking she chose to be hugged by both him and the man giving the show.
If any of you are in Coff"s Harbour you must make a plan to get to this place. The staff, animals and shows are really good.
Well, as you can see Monika is a better fisherman-woman than me.She is the only one out of the 2 of us that has managed to catch something we could eat.
He was a little Bream within legal limit and was caught outside our flat in the Tweed River. We enjoyed it so much, the only problem is that we didn't have a braai to throw his ass on and had to fry him in a pan but he still tasted so dam good
Monika is also getting over her fear of removing the fish from the hook (well the small ones anyway) but I still have to kill the guys.
Our room with a view:
This is the view from our flat. This is the mouth of the Tweed River that's permanently open to the ocean.
It's actually awesome and because its open the dolphins come right in and swim outside the front door.
This river also goes +- 100km's in land and stays about this wide most of the way.
I'm sorry if the layout is all funny but I'm still learning this whole blogging thing. And spelling, ja the spelling....
We are still looking for our own place and as soon as we have one we'll get our own connection and stay more intouch. Please email, we still check every few days.
