We're in Port Macquarie!!!!

Gday..

We're here safe and sound in Port Macquarie....

We had to leave the hostel early this morning... Just when Lee thought he was getting to grips with the lingo a conversation with a bus driver this morning indicates just how far he's still got to go..

Lee: "Excuse me mate, I know your bus says Sydney on the front but are you by any chance going to Port Macqaurie??"

Bus Driver (Don't know his name but we'll call him Bruce!!): "Gday mate, nah she'll be along in a jiffer and she'll have Brisso as the desto!!!..."

Loosely translated "Hello mate, that bus won't be along for while yet, when it arrives you'll know it's the right one cos it'll have Brisbane as the final destination"

Is all true we kid you not...

We left Newcastle at 9.30 this morning and we got in at 1.30pm... (including a nice 40 minute stop on the way for food)... We stepped off the bus wondering how we were going to find the hostel when the owner had come to meet everyone off the bus... SO we checked in... It's a nice little place and much smaller than the last one!!

We went out and about for a wander.... We went down by the river, past the beach and just generally got familiar with our surroundings (including a stop off in the local pub....)....

Lee thought he'd found a good bookshop and said "I wanna look at the sport and travel books".. turns out it was a bit of a Jesus bookshop (apologies if we've offended anyone reading!!!!)... Trust him to find the only one in Aus!!!!

We're got a few bits and pieces planned for tomorrow.. and we head on to Coffs Harbour on Wednesday for a couple of days...

We've also changed round our accomadation plans a bit.. We've decided we can't hack 7 weeks back to back hostels as Lee misses the TV too much.. hahahahahahahahahaha...

We can't get Wi-Fi here so as with Sydney we will post pics as soon as we can...

Lots of love
Lucy and Lee
