The last three days have been a mix of meeting friends, going on long hot walks around Newcastle, and playing games and relaxing with mum and dad.
I met up with Matthew the other day for the usual catching up, and afterwards went into town to see the beaches.
They were closed due to high winds and even the surfers were absent! Aside from a windsurfer guy the above pair was the only brave souls I saw approaching the water and even they seemed apprehensive.
Kirsten also took me swimming yesterday. Since the baths were closed we went to the public pool which even has a water slide. It was fun even if the water was frigid!
This morning Sue took me to the lake where we walked a path I hadn’t done since before leaving Oz.
The end of these trips is always seeing friends one more time; going the places I hadn’t gone; eating the foods I hadn’t yet eaten.
Adam and I met up after lunch and played the hell out of the new MTG set which was released just today! He won convincingly 🙂
It was my last day in Newcastle this trip, and tomorrow I’ll say goodbye to my parents and head for Sydney. Assuming I haven’t collapsed from exhaustion you can expect one more post before I leave Australia.
