We've left Sydney and began our adventures due north along the coastline.
If you've never been to Australia, it takes a little getting used to everyone driving on the other side. The trick to remember is, big rights and small lefts. I'll be shocked if we make it up the coast without any accidents!
Our first stop was Stockton, just a small suburb outside of Newcastle, where we met Mikey's long time friend Stewart or "Stewie." Mikey met Stewie about eight years ago in a Rio de Janeiro youth hostel affectionately dubbed "the crackhouse", a freakin' crazy place where nothing seemed to be illegal. They became fast friends and followed each other across South America for the next ten months. Now that Mikey's living in Sydney a pit stop 2 hours north at Stewie's pad, to let these old timers catch up, was a must.
Stewie just bought a house, which he calls "rancho relaxo," only two houses down from the local pub. Established in 1
884, this pub was full of the mic dundee types and by the end of the night everyone was singing...hopefully I can get a video posted. Oren and I also introduced "howz it hangin" to the mates and they loved it. Stewie has the best backyard for it.
After a super fun surf session this morning, it looks like we're heading to Seal Rocks, 2 hrs north of Stockton, where we plan to camp and surf. Although I hear there are a lot of sharks!
Wish everyone were here to see how beautiful it is. After surfing today I found handfuls of shells on the beach. I plan to make some outragously cool necklaces on the car ride.
Cheers mates!
