And we're off
Doug starting to relax learning to drive on the other side of the road.We finally managed to get on line here at my sisters house so I can start logging our adventures. We had a little hiccup coming through immigration as Doug's visa did not have his midde name so they wanted to fix that before we were allowe in the country, then they decided my beef jerky was full of disease etc and it is illegal to bring into the country so they threw it away. After we got out of the airport we headed into downtown Sydney to pick up our Spaceship that was going to be our home for the next 9 days. We spent about an hour going through the bed setup configuations and other features of the van before heading into traffic. Doug and I are learning a new language (hard right, easy left) became our new mantra so we could turn into the right lane. We got the directions to head toward our first destination which we promptly forgot and missed our second turn so now we were lost. No problem, we brought the electronics. ;-) GPS will help us get on the right track. I turned on the GPS and said "here we go". We waited, and
almost ready
we really need to sleep waited, and waited.....GPS is insisting we are in Canada still? We waited some more and still no new location. GPS. Eventually we got ourselves turned around and was back at the Spaceship station so we could start again. This time we made the right turn and headed out of town. After driving for about 30 mins. and starting to relax since we were on the right highway....bing...GPS tells us we're in Australia! Thanks stupid GPS!
We started driving hoping to make it to Pambula on our first night but with our flight arriving so much later than originally scheduled we made it to Bateman's Bay aroundb 8pm and decided to stop. It was getting dark and we were getting too tired. We stopped at at caravan park for the night and went about setting up our camper for some much needed sleep.
