10th November - Port Mcquarie and the awesome flat
Port Mcquarie was really nice, we'd read in the lonely planet that the hostel was small and pokey but we went for it anyway. When we got there they said that we weren't even staying in the hostel that in fact we were in an apartment the next block over. The flat turned out to be huge, it had two floors and 4 rooms all with other English couples in, which was nice in a way. We all stayed up watching DVD's and drinking. The thing had so much space, much bigger than our last place in Weybridge.
Underneath it was a massive skink, well a blue tongued skink to be precise. I saw on the way back from the shops right by the back door.
Skink
The trick with this skink is that it has tiny legs and so when it feels threatened it tucks them under itself so that it makes itself look like a snake. And it did look a bit like a Death Adder as well due to its little worm like tail and triangular head. But we were safe! I told Sarah, not that I am the next Steve Irwin or anything.
We went up to see another lighthouse but this time drove like any sane person would, there weren't any whales or dolphins this time though. We were kind of expecting it really.
That afternoon we hired some DVD's and sat down for some serious TV watching, something we hadn't done for a while, we also cooked up the rest of our food too to get rid of some hangers on. We had some bread, beans, cheddar cheese, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. It worked quite well actually.
This month in Oz it is Mo-Vember. Meaning people are growing moustaches for charity. We've seen quite a few bad ones but we aren't too sure if they are just growing them or if that is for keeps. There is also a TV commercial for VB beers featuring the awesome David Boon and Ian Beefy Botham, to feature in this winter/summers TASHES. Funny stuff.
Right off to Newcastle to see some Geordies and the Hillier Clan. Mum has warned us about the terrors that are Nathan and Jack, but we reckon we could cope. More to come on this later.
