This years theme for the first of the year seems to be new. A whole new world for us really. Went spent the good part of the day in a state of relaxation (the is once the guy with the really stinky feet got moved out of our room and two lovely girls from Germany moved in). We were able to explore the downtown area of Newcastle, although most of the shops were closed because of the holiday it was nice to just roam around in the sunshine. Eventually we found ourselves at the beach where I was proud to note the red and yellow flags that allow safe swimming between them. Yet there were also black and white checkered ones and we aren't quite sure what those ones mean yet so we safely avoided that area. There were loads of happy people sprawled out on the beach as well as a handful if surfers who were fun to watch. I say in envy of there skills thinking about how we want to go surfing before we leave.
It's safe to assume that we were on the beach for jut over and hour and liberally applied sunscreen, and yet still got burnt. But we are happy to report that it is hardly painful and we got our full supply of vitamin d for the day. We both are really starting to feel the effects of the large amount of travel we endured bit none the less will be on a bus bright and early in the morning to head to the farm. We are red, stinky, and tired, but most importantly we are happy.
Until the next stop,
Jes & Brian.
