We decided to leave the Blue Mountains earlier than expected as the weather was rubbish. The journey to Newcastle was a few hours and we were looking forward to it as we found out some of our friends from Melbourne were staying in the same campsite as us.
We arrived around 4pm and set up camp next to our friends. It was nice to be in the company of other people again and we spent the evening drinking and playing card games.
The following day we woke up feeling a bit sorry for ourselves from all the alcohol and headed to the beach (perfect hangover cure). The beach was very quiet (as we were staying just outside of Newcastle) but it was nice to relax for the day and have some downtime reading my book.
That evening we did the same as the previous evening, drunk and played games. We had a BBQ altogether and ate together as well. George and I decided we would leave the next day and head into actual Newcastle to see what was there.
The following day we headed into Newcastle. It was a quiet surfer town with a few shops and restaurants. We found it not the most interesting place so decided to head to the next place on our destination list. Next stop … Nelsons Bay!
Adventure Awaits...
