I'm totally excited about a 2.5 hour trip to the coast! [View all]

Pre-Covid I was getting excited about a trip to China, but now my universe is smaller (unless I want to leave Australia and not be able to get back home), Merimbula is looking mighty fine as far as tourist destinations go. So me and my new second hand Golf GTI (picture of a similar car without the super awesome European style number plates below) and wonderful Westie, Bridget (picture below as well) are going to do a short road trip and spend a week staring at the ocean and wondering to ourselves why life is so crap that I have to sit looking at the ocean instead of hanging out on the Great Wall....

My trip (if I was really clever, I would have embedded the map, but I'm not, so here we are...)

My car's doppelganger:



My Westie, who's promised she'll bark and whine for the entire trip (she's the white one)...



I'm really looking forward to when the pandemic is over and I can leave the car and the doggo at home and head back to Europe and do another river cruise down the Danube...
