Both John and I arrived in Australia on separate planes; the way of frequent flyer miles. The journey's were good and restful even at 15 hours per leg! Cheri got to use a fast pass for passport control and made it through in record time. John was already there with the car in waiting!
Thank you
God! It was supposed to rain today, but it
began to clear as soon as left the hotel. Blue sky is now dominating the sky
with sunshine. The birds are flying over
us in flocks and individually. Joy!
Today
was all about getting on the time, remembering how to drive on the right, and provisioning! We found a mall about 2ks from our
hotel. The plan was to acquire an
"Eskie" or a cooler, some food in case everything was closed for
Easter, some water, and anything else we saw we needed. As luck would have it, there was an electronics
store where we went in to check out go pro accessories. Lo and behold, they had a pay as you go Wi FI! So, for $99 we acquired on the go wi FI for
the whole trip!! Yeah. Hooked up!
John
had researched potential walks to give us an activity to keep us awake. We found some great birds including
parrots. Nice to get some "lead in
the air" and be sure all our equipment was functioning.
The
goal was to stay awake until 8 PM. So we
headed off to a Thai restaurant a mere 6 miles away....mere....it was like an
obstacle course with trams, round abouts, and for two tired Americans, it was a
challenge! Luckily we made it and made
it back. The Mantra hotel had a GREAT
bed and a Good Shower!
Enjoy!
John & Cheri
