Day 3: Road Trip Begins

All 5 of us loaded into our Toyota Camry, and started our adventure North. First stop, Hunter Valley, Australia's "wine country." Some of the earliest vineyards were planted in the early 1800's. We only had time to stop at 3 wineries and one cheese shop, before getting on the road again. But, we had a fabulous lunch of fresh cheese and crackers, and wonderful Aussie wine!
We then spent hours on the road, with our final destination for the night being Coffs Harbor. We shared a room at a hostel, and a few of us found this to be quite an 'adventure.' Brooke was the biggest trooper, after finding out she had to rent sheets. I swear the bug we killed was a cockroach. And, upon making up the bed, Jesse found out it is not a good idea to stand and watch Michelle make the bed, with his mouth open. The hostel pillow somehow flung toward his face, and landed in his mouth. Possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, and possibly the most disgusting thing that's happened to Jesse in a long time.
