The alarm went off at 5am in a most unwelcome way, and we packed up and got to the airport in good time. We got breakfast much like we had on our other arrival at Melbourne airport, but this time we had to throw most of our tea/coffee out. I was not happy. The flight was not full.
I dozed most of the flight, and we were in Newcastle soon enough. Jill was due to meet us there, and we met up very quickly, and drove back to Coal Point. We had a shower, repacked for the day, I did a bit of organisation on the laptop, and we headed back out to Stockton. It was great to see Sue, and Camillo and Matt and Sue Pendlebury. After inspecting where Sue had nearly burned the house down, we set off in Soopy's and Matt's cars in the direction of the Bay. Camillo stayed at home. As I went to get in Matt's car, one of my sandals broke (and I love those sandals). Matt offered me a giant pair of his thongs, and I accepted. We stopped at the brewery/winery at Bobs Farm, each got a beer/cider, some crisps, and we sat down to relax under the umbrellas and chatted. When Christian went off to the toilet, Sue told me how wonderful she thinks he is, which means a lot.
We finished our drinks, and got back in the cars, driving on up to Port Stephens. Matt subjected us to the Twelfth Man. At Shoal Bay, we drove on nearly to Tomaree head before getting a car park. Sue/Soopy/Kev parked near the fish and chips shop. Christian and I got changed, and the others ordered fish and chips for us as we walked to meet them. It wasn't the nicest meal in the world, but it was jolly.
We crossed the road, and went for a dip. Christian got in quickly, but I found it cold. I got in eventually. Soopy jumped in and jumped out straight away. Sue stayed just over her knees. It was nice to cool off. We joined Matt and Kev in the pub across the road, and I got changed. We headed off soon after - Matt drove us back to Sue's, and we said our goodbyes and headed back to Coal Point.
Christian had opted to stay at home that evening, so I had a shower and went back out to meet my school friends at Blue Water Pizza at Warners Bay. Unfortunately, a lot of people either couldn't come or dropped out, and so it was only me, Ash, Lorrice, and Nat. It was a nice evening, though, and good to catch up.
I drove home, and we went to bed soon after.
