A Storm and Photos Updated
The hour grows late, time is fleeting and a storm is on the horizon...
I had another lovely night under the stars without a tent thanks to the storm that hit Nowra yesterday shortly after my arrival. I was going to stay at the only backpacker accomodation that I knew of, and upon arriving I was greeted by a sign that read something along the lines of:
"We regret to say that we are not taking any more bookings today due to a blackout"
I telepohoned another place for accomodation, but refuse to pay AUD$93 to rest my weary head for but a night. So I grabbed my nifty new sleeping bag, which keeps me warm in temperatures of up to -5 degrees celsius. Indeed just as the night under the stars in Kiama, I was actually too hot! The sounds of police sirens kept me in and out of consciousness, but all in all, it was a decent sleep.
I am happy to say that my photo gallery has been reorganised and updated. Unfortunately I do not have time to annotate all of the photographs yet, however there are over 150 new ones to take a look at. Even though the story is lacking, you should be able to get an idea visually of the journey that I have been undertaking. The link to the main gallery is at the top of the page (I would direct link but this netcafe won't let me open multiple windows to copy and paste the address). Enjoy!
It looks like the storm is returning, and I have very long walk to the nearest town. I do not think that I will have access to the internet for 2-3 days, so take care and I shall be back in contact as soon as possible.
A special thanks to everyone who has supported me so far; thank you to Simon the chef at the Great Southern Hotel in Berry for the use of your couch; thank you to Bill the Tambourine Man for entertaining me with your playing as well as sharing a few good tales; thanks to Richard at the Great Southern Hotel also for sharing a few stories; thanks to Murray (aka Muz) at the Postman's Tavern for a good chat and for offering accomodation last night; and thanks to the barman there for showing off your Cocktail skills with that bottle trick! Oh and lastly but not leastly, thanks Gwen Watts from the laundrette in Nowra for washing and drying my clothes for free!
Farewell for now!
