Feeling a little on the dirty side, I was having myself a warm shower at the side of the car in my underwear when a man came up to the car saying, “Buenos dias, amigo.” (Good morning, friend). Thankfully, Dan was outside and so started talking to him while I hid in the car wrapped…

We’d set an alarm for 1:30am to see what high tide looked like. When the phone made a noise, we groggily rolled over to see that the highest waves were at least a few feet away. We would be fine. In the actual morning, we were woken up by our friend from last night who…

Our camp on Sunset Cliffs was choice. No one bothered us during the night and we were both able to have a midnight pee break without getting caught. It was our first night’s sleep in the new digs and we both slept solidly. We woke to the low paced hustle and bustle of the beach…

We were up super early, breakfasted and out to the car by 9am because we didn’t want to muck around. We’d talked about being ready to go by noon and we were determined. At breakfast, Debbie had her laptop out and informed us that our switch had been delivered to Oregon, so there was no…

It was a big errand day today, Dan had a list and we were determined to hit everything on it. We spent the morning working on the van, after another easy start of bacon, eggs and pancakes for breakfast. The important morning routine finished, we figured we’d do a bit of work before heading out….

I felt thoroughly refreshed and a bit like a queen waking up in an air conditioned room with a ceiling fan ticking gently above me and a beautifully soft mattress below me. We lingered in bed a while, after I woke up at sunrise thanks to my growing habit. The parents were both at work…

I woke up super early, happy that my tumultuous night was over. After having a quick breakfast, I thought I had a chance of catching Mum and Dad on the phone before they went to bed so I went across the road and sat outside the restaurant to catch on to their Wifi. Luckily I…
