Saturday April 8th

---

Hello from oz!

We got off to an early start today, and went downtown airlie beach to the Saturday market. Not really a lot there, but I did find a jewelery stand where I bought a couple of necklaces and some earings. Paulina got one as well. We’re traveling today up to Townsville, closer to where we’re flying out of Australia. There is a Sunday market in Townsville that is supposed to be really nice, as long as we can get there tonight. We spent most of the day traveling, after leaving airlie beach. There has been a tremendous amount of rain here, a lot of roads are flooded, and I think if the water was any deeper we may have had to wait. We did make it to Townsville by around 4 oclock, and grabbed a site near the highway. It’s a nice park, with a bouncing pillow that the kids absolutely love. Tomorrow we’re off to the Sunday market, and heading north!

More tomorrow!
