Monday 25th January I woke up Monday super sad to have to leave the hostel. I felt down again (the alcohol Saturday won't have helped) and just wanted to be back home. The idea of leaving a nice air-conned room with stuff to do in a communal feel place to return to our damaged hot van was depressing, but we had to. We checked out at midday and collected the van from a nearby (well, 10 minute walk) street and then began running our errands of going to Bunnings t...

Sunday 24th January Well it was awful to wake up at 7am after not getting to bed until 4.30am and feeling the heat of the campervan. I rang Nick and was struggling to sleep not to mention having a banging headache. Lisa decided to join our friends we'd been chatting to at the campsite the day before down by the pool while I had some space to try and go back to sleep in the van, I left the door wide open and rolled around until about 12 when she returned and the...

Saturday 23rd January In the morning when woke up it was very cloudy and looking like it wasn't going to be long until it was going to start raining.

Wednesday 20th January We woke up early morning, I did a meditation and phoned Nick then when I returned back to the van Lisa was flapping around over a giant spider she'd seen in the van. I wasn't sure how 'giant' it would be as I knew she was scared of spiders as much as I am, yet wasn't taking any chances so called over a nice Australian dad to get in our van and find it to get rid...I can confirm it was a beast of a spider and the man was laughing at our mis...

Tuesday 19th January I didn't sleep very well due to the heat but got up to a cloudy morning and went for a walk around the town centre, popping in at the hairdressers to see if we could get in. I managed to get an appointment for a trim at 12 at 'Edge' and then went back to the campsite, grabbed a towel and a book and went to lie on the beach for an hour. Whilst I was lying on the beach on my own, I had a lovely surprise in opening my eyes to see a young boy ...
