While I had a seamless night and morning, Bernie caused a complaint from one of the neighbours because he was smoking by his car in the morning, so not a good thing for John. And so, Bernie made an early exit and after I helped John clean his apartment, pushing around a vacuum cleaner that…

We both had a good sleep in the Walmart and I was off before Bernie. He was awake, but not in any state to get to the courts with me by 8am, so I left him some directions and head off. Stella had booked us an early court session for a hit and was already…

No issues with our trusty Walmart camp this time, we were away without issue, straight to a Maccas so Bernie could get his essential morning coffee and make a few phone calls before his big game. After we’d been talking last night about how much trouble he has falling asleep, he slept like a log,…

I was up way before Bernie this morning and enjoying breakfast in my comfy seat when a man came up to my open side door and introduced himself as the property manager and asked if I was just hanging out. It was bloody obvious what I was doing and he proceeded to tell me that…

Our goal today was to hit as much as possible on clay courts. After a pretty late start to the morning, I found a few nearby parks and when I called to enquire about clay courts, the lady on the phone just said “I’ll Google it,” in response to each of my questions, so not…

We both had a bit of a sleep in this morning. Bernie was up just before me and when I opened my door, he said, “About time!”. First on my agenda was a shower, I felt disgusting from yesterday and the warm shower rejuvenated me. As I was doing that, Bernie went into the Cracker…

While I was flipping through my Lonely Planet guide over breakfast, a guy in an old bright red MG drove over to my camp. I’d seen him drive in last night and saw him camped out in a sleeping bag, keen as mustard. Within minutes, it was obvious he’s a talker. He had so much…

During the night, I was woken up by a police officer, an overweight black woman. I could hear her talking outside the van, she was saying something about coming back at 3pm to see if I was still camped where I was. If I was, she’d do something about it. When I went outside, I…

While I dreamt the whole night of snake attacks and was bitten all over by mozzies, I survived the night, even getting to enjoy watching glowing ants on my window as I fell asleep. They flashed their green bums on and off constantly, it was magical, I’d never seen them before. I started my day…

I enjoyed a great night’s sleep and dragged out a slow start to my morning. I re-organised the van into a one-girl-camp and managed to free up some under-bed space in the process which is always a bonus. I had a small breakfast, not really feeling hungry after all the good food I’d eaten over…
