On my way to Taree today!!! Well what can I say, went to a little cafe in Nabiac. Bought some rolls at the local bakery then went across and had a latte at the local cafe. Other than that I rocked today on the bike. I was flying on the bike, Got into Taree at 2:45 pm I rocked it. Felt really good. The best thing tho is that my camp site is next to a Mcdonalds so FREE INTERNET!!! Hope all my blog readers are doing well and enjoying life!! Catch you all tomorrow!!!!!!!

Departing Sydney and on my way to The Entrance. While coming out of the city I saw a cafe called James Cafe. Had to go in to have a latte before the journey. It wasn't too bad getting to The Entrance a little long but not too bad. Met a cool guy named Jon who told me about a trail that leads to New Castle, so I kept that in mind. When I arrived it was a bit challenging to find a camp site under 30 dollars but I did it!!! I liked The Entrance its kinda like Lake Entrance but less people everywhere, more quiet.

Next morning it was time to head to Raymond Terrace. On the way I stopped in a bike shop in Belmont. I grabbed some supplies and started talking to one of the guys who works there. I'm guessing he was the owner, but a really awesome guy!! He told me about a bike trail heading into New castle what a coincidence , so he drew me a map and sacrificed a map from the phone book, I think just so I would not get lost lol The bike trail was groovy!! Thanks so much for that!!!

I arrived in New Castle and had some lunch on the docks. I was going to take some pics because its just a beautiful little city but my batteries were dead!!!! So disappointed I was Couldn't believe it. Sorry guys that I couldn't take any pictures maybe next time when I'm up here.

Couldn't stop long had to get to Raymond Terrace, which went by pretty fast!! The high way was awesome, sooo much room on the shoulder couldn't believe it. When I arrived in Raymond went to the shops for food and made some beef noodle stir fry for dinner yummmm!!!

Next morning it was time to go forward and beyond!!! to Bulahdelah. On my way to Bulahdelah I stoped in a little town to have a coffee and a baked good. I had the loaf a bread called a t-cake and latte. While I finished I kept cycling on the high way there was a rumble in my belle. I was time for lunch so I pulled over and started munching. In my process of munching a dude named Tony crept up next to me. We started chatting away for a bit and got to know each other, he is the most friendly dude every!! He lives up just before Ballina, so i'll give him a call when I'm in the neighborhood for sure. While I got to Bulahdelah went to the local shop to grab some grocery's for my awesome night of burrito's!!! YAAAA!!! When I got out of the shop look who was there fixing his tyre Tony!! So i chit chatted with Tony for a bit until he had to go and start peddling away back home.

Well blog readers that was my three days of craziness!! Have a good one guys!!!!!

One more thing the burrito's where sooooooo goooood!!!!

Sydney

I spent four groovtastic nights in Sydney. It was the best weekend I have ever had!!!!! I spent couple of days with the gorgeous Chubby Bunny (Stella). My Lady flew up to see me for three days I was soooo thrilled!!!! Couldn't believe that she was here. I picked Stella up from the airport then went to Harbor Side to have lunch at a place called Hurricane. We at pork and beef ribs with really good garlic bread sooo good!! After our fabulous lunch we took a ferry to Circular Quay and saw the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House!!! While we were in the area we took a stroll around the Rocks with all the markets that were going on.

By the time we got back to the hostel it was time for dinner!!! We took a stroll to this little Italian grocery store but also had a restaurant in there as well. It most defiantly was a cool idea for a restaurant. The place was called Fratteli Fresh. After all that it was time for shut eye couldn't keep my eyes open at the dinner table hahaha.

The next morning the beautiful Stella and I went for a walk to grab some pancakes at the rocks!! mmmm After the breakfast we walked to the tram and went to the FISH MARKET!!! I've never seen Stella so excited before lol She was like a little kid in a candy store. We pigged out big time on the sea food, got over stuffed we could barely walk haha.

It was time to take a walk to the book store and poke our noses around before watching a move, Clash of the Titans. When the movie was finished it was time to grab a quick indian food and off to bed.

On the last day of the wonderful weekend we decide to walk to Bourke Street Bakery!!! Stella had the chicken pie with a mocha and I had the beef pie with the latte. By the time we walked back to the hostel it was that time where we both didn't want to come.

I hate saying good bye to such a wonderful amazing lady. But we both knew it was coming. So I took Stella to the airport to watch her board the plane, until next time........

The best weekend ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't that I was in Sydney that made it the best, it was because I was with the most beautiful, jaw dropping, breath taking lady that my eyes have ever seen before, Chubby Bunny xoxoxo (aka Stella)
