Today, Jan 2,2014. I hope everyone had a happy new year. Today was the start to a fantastic day! Woke up and went for a fantastic run thorough the most beautiful gardens across from our hotel, iguanas everywhere! Ran into town and had a delicious smoothie from a nice man who has had his smoothie place for 14 years. Then decided against a big breakfast that would have cost us $20 each, opted for "Pie Face " again, which cost us $20 total, Aussies are big on lattes, cappachinos,  mochas.  I just wanted a regular coffee, which is called a long black. But in the stores there is no ground coffee or coffee beans just Nescafé instant coffee. Good thing I brought some Starbucks instant coffee from home which I think is better than Nescafé.

Picked up our camper van and we were on the road by 11:00, with me navigating (scary) and with Tom trying to drive on the opposite side of the road (scarier). The landscape is fairly dry and all we've seen so far are cows and horses, Tom said he saw some road kill, wallybys or kangaroos. I think they are like our deer, hiding in amongst the trees. We got to our campground, it must be 35 degrees! Went for a swim in the pool, then went for a walk to the ocean, green parakeets in the eucalyptus trees, came back, had a beer, oh and by the way, everyone drinks Corona here! Played Rummykub, 1 for Wendy! Had a quick supper and watched the huge flying foxes (bats) come out at dusk. Washed the dishes and got into bed! Pretty early for me, 9:00. 

Hope everyone is well, xoxoxo.
