Brock and I have added a few more people to our travel squad. I like to call them the euros. The euros are made up of tom (British), Andy, and mono (both Irish). Very fun and entertaining guys. It was funny how we met them. We were setting up camp in a random parking lot when they pulled up and started doing the same thing as us. we ended up having a good night out on the town with them in port Macquarie an otherwise boring town until we rolled through and by the end of the night were denied entrance into three bars ha-ha. The first night Brock and I spent in the car was at diamond beach, a very "bogen" town (redneck) kind of like a run down new Smyrna. We parked in a public park next to a house that by chance had a party going on where we quickly were invited into and had a great time with some very hospitable locals. As you can see from the pictures we have had to go to all sorts of resorts to take showers and such, our best bet so far has been sneaking into caravan parks and takin hot showers whihc believe me is a luxury on the road. At the moment we are on the way up to Byron bay about another 4 hours up the coast with the euros. Byron bay is known as being a very laid back surfer/hippy town so it should be interesting the next 3 or four days while we are there. After that we are planning on going up to the gold coast for the Indy races which start on the 19th. This should be fun and it has a reputation as being a huge gathering with the town about doubling in population for the weekend. Last night we parked at hat head national park and made a big bonfire on the beach and had a great time. As you can see we got a little crazy with jumping over the fire but it was a good time. I also saw my first kangaroo here right next to where we were sleeping in our car. They are amazingly big animals and are awe inspiring as you can imagine. We were quickly kicked out of the parking lot this morning by the rangers because of the fact that it is illegal to sleep in your car. Our plan is to still make it up to the Great Barrier Reef by the end of the month and hopefully go diving and fishing. I still love life on the road though I am starting to miss home. Can’t wait to see the family when I get to Costa Rica.
