Will the road trip begin...



It's going to be a long post this time. Trying to catch up with staff that has happened. Okay, so let's get into it.

Yesterday, Monday the 7th, woke up pretty early to get in time to pick up our campervan. Took the train down to Mascot. Sydney's Central Station doesn't really have too much information.. Where to go and where to find the right lanes.. Anyways, got there quick.



Got the van and jumped in, just to realize that it's not automatic as promised. Janina was not very happy with the change, but got over it and dealt with it. Now she's been doing a pretty good with the left-handed driving. We drove to the nearest sport bar, called The Intersection, to watch SuperBowl and took of heading to Nowra.


The Grand Pacific Drive ^


Wollongong Harbour ^



Nowra, our first over-night stop, is a Aboriginal word meaning black cocatoo - a bird. The camping area, Shoalhaven Caravan Village, at first glance was okay-ish. The "landlord" was pretty nice, trying to joke. :) Bathrooms were surprisingly tidy! Would recommened the camping area for anyone around New South Wales (NSW).
Time on the road has been fun, though pretty expensive - but it's all worth it. ;) We have seen amazingly picture perfect views (Grand Pacific Drive including Wollongong..), met almost too friendly people and eaten burgers with beetroot in them! Behind every turn of Princes Highway there's a new scenic drive and with me driving, I would stop all the time to take pictures without Miko telling me to keep driving. :D (But I'll make sure we'll post those gorgeous pictures on facebook when got time.)
