RV-ing

---

Hello everybody,

Well that has been a while, as there are not as many Internet Cafe's in Australia as in Thailand. The computers at the RV Campgrounds are old and some have dial up. So here I am in Tweed Heads, in an internet cafe, typing as fast as I can. Remmert and Meindert are getting a haircut, bien is watching me and Kirsten is e-mailing her friends.

We had a lovely time in Sydney, went for a tour, saw the opera house, stayed in a great hotel. Picked up the rv on Sunday afternoon. (Rupert we will be back in Sydney from March 8 -12, when are you there ??)

The motorhome is great, it is handy to go and have everything with us. On the otherhand you have to make sure that everything is packed away properly, otherwise the toothbrushes fly around..........

When we left Sydney we drove to Port Stephens and stayed there for 2 nights, Dolphin Capital of Australia. We went on a big catamaran to see some dolphins, hanged around on the beach and enjoyed the sunshine.

Wednesday Feb 21 we drove to Coffs Harbour, found a great campground, crawling distance to the beach !!!! Here we all learned boogie-boarding !!!!! The Kangaroos hopped by us while having dinner, parrots in the trees. Remmert and I went for a run even !!!! Weather was great 28 C and the water was 25C, my kind of temperatures !!!

This morning we drove to Tweed Heads where we will stay till Sunday, then drive towards the Australian Zoo. Something the kids look forward too.


Well this is it, beach is calling, to-morrow family surf lessons ???!!! will be fun and interesting


Hope everybody is doing well, take care
Miriam
