WEATHER: Beautiful. Highs at the coast in 70s
I've been spending time planning our trip to Australia next year. We have 2 house-sitting assignments, one in Tasmania and one near Melbourne in 2016. I sent our proposed itinerary for travels between the 2 housesits to the Tasmania homeowner. She shared these maps with me to illustrate the magnitude of the country, I think perhaps hinting that my plans might be a bit ambitious.
We took off from the farm heading toward the coast. Right near our place, we encountered this cowboy.
Our destination was only 90 miles away, but took about 3 hours to get there due to the winding, narrow road. When we got to the coast, we stopped at a pub in an old harbor for a quick pint.
Then on to Gualala where we met our friends Daniel and Minnie. We first met them camping in a state park in 2013 in central Texas. Then, we got together again in Big Bend National Park, then again last summer in Alaska. They are great fun. Now they are on their way north from San Francisco to Oregon and Washington for another camping trip. We had lunch together at a seaside restaurant, then went to Sea Ranch Chapel, a nondenominational chapel nearby. The architecture is very interesting.
We went to the regional park where they are camping. It was great catching up around the campfire.
DINNER: T-bones on the grill with sautéed zucchini and grilled French bread. Great campfire food!
We decided to stay overnight, rather than face the 3-hour trip back. We are at Surf Motel right on the ocean in Gualala.
