I had to get the 7:30am coach to Batemans bay yesterday...of course I slept most of the journey. The coach ended up going so slow down this really steep hill, I thought we were going to topple over! I arrived at the harbour and had to call the guy from the hostel to come and pick me up, along with this guy called Richard who I met in Canberra and a girl from Italy called Elina who I just met on the coach. The hostel was part of a caravan park, with a BBQ area and swimming pool. Everyone is just so friendly there, it's lovely 😊 The first day I walked to a wildlife park and saw my first Kangaroos! I fed them some food and had about 10 crowded round me! They are so cute...but not as sweet as the not so little koala bears. I thought they'd be alot smaller. They were on their tree being lazy and floppy..awwww...
The next day in Batemans Bay, me, Richard, Elina and this girl called Sabina from Germany went on a 6km bushwalk to Pebbly Beach. On our journey through the bush we saw a massive iguana! It was so big and was yawning! I think someone saw a little snake but I didn't, phew.... We arrived at Depot beach first and ate our lunch then moved on across 'heaps' of pebbles. It was so difficult to walk across them as it was sloped downwards. So I thought, I know what, I'll walk on the big rocks down by the water...then I nearly lost one of my thongs (flip flops) so I swiftly went back to stumbling across the pebbles. Hours later we arrived at the sandy part of Pebbly Beach where Elina and I fell asleep to the sound of the beautiful ocean...mmm perfect. Richard and Sabina went off to look for more kangaroos and returned with a tale of finding two in the middle of kangaroo love...
Last night we all left the bay and celebrated by having THE best fish and chips on the harbour. I am now in Narooma with Sabina in the best hostel so far...the room actually has a bathroom in it!! yessssssss 😊
