October 12th, Slowly But Surely

So, we finally left today! We didn't get out of town until nearly 5 because we procrastinated our way through the weekend and had a lot to do at the last minute. Plus a lot of friends were in and out to say goodbye.

Jess Jones, my best Australian friend, and her brother Matt were around throughout the day, which was great. Jess works at the local bakery and brought us a care package for our trip, full of veggie sandwiches and lots and lots of treats. It was awesome because it saved us from having to go to the grocery tonight.

So we left! We drove just a few hours to the coast to stay the night at this incredible spot nearly right on the beach in Tathra. Tomorrow we are going whale watching so we wanted to find a cool place near where the boat would launch.

We pulled back into our spot off a bunch of dirt roads and there were kangaroos everywhere! I haven't been that close to kangaroos so it was really good. We pulled in and sat quietly with the doors open, so they were coming about 2 feet from where we were. It felt like the zoo.

Just for your info...the speedometer read 247,078 when we left. That's kilometers. We're keep track, so this might be interesting later, I promise.

First night in the van! It's been pretty good so far. Not that we've really used it much, but I am definitely excited for the next few weeks and really wish that everyone could be here to experience this with me!
