I had really been looking forward to staying in Byron Bay, so it was disapointing to say the least when we arrived and it was hammering down with rain. It had started when we were on the coach from Coffs Harbour, and had just grown progressively worse. I couldn't help thinking 'Typical!" We didn't arrive until about 9ish in the evening though so we just went to the hostel and sorted ourselves out before going straight to bed. When I woke up the next morning ...

The second place we visited on our trip up the coast was Coffs Harbour. We didn't arrive there until late in the afternoon so we didn't do much that night. We didn't really do much the whole time we were there to be honest as we thought we would just chill out for a couple of days.

Well were are finally off on our trip up the East Coast, and our first stop was Port Macquarie.

We wanted to make the stop off back at Newcastle to say a final goodbye to everyone as well as break up all the travelling, and only stayed for a few days this time, however tempting it...

This blog entry will be my last one for Sydney ever because as I write this we are currently back in Newcastle for a few days before we head on up the east coast and get back to proper travelling again. This should cover our last couple of weeks there. Following on from my last entry I worked a few more days that week mainly in Darling Harbour where I did another wedding and also a breakfast conference which meant I had to be up at 5.30 in the morning to be there...
