East Coast Road Trip, Australia

Well, my life has now changed again blog fans. Im on the road, no longer living in my cushy flat, with big sofas, TV, hot powerful showers and all other luxuries of modern day living. Im in a van about the size of a toilet cubicle, and Im sharing it with 2 other guys. No use in complaining (I never complain anyway though, right blog fans? ;) ). We decide to just head north and drive drive drive. Things are good except that it simply will not stop raining. Its like a frickin plague or something. The first night I go back to my home(ish) town, Cardiff. And manage to bag this simply wonderful snap:

"Indeed you are, my princess"

However, this Cardiff is a lot different to the one back home. Its dark, getting late, we're tired, and the locals look like they might want to eat us. Didnt help that Andy reversed into a parked car whilst quipping "Might have to use the mirrors here.....CRUNCH!"

"Dya think Andy?"

Spent the night in Newcastle on the top of a cliff by the sea. I slept in the top compartment listening the rain lashing on the roof (which is a few inches from my face) and the wind rocking by the van back and forth. I miss my bed and toilet.
