Laura and Filippo from Italy have been so nice to provide us with a second part of their journey here in Australia. The first step was to buy a car, a Mitsubishi Pajero from our Travellers Auto Barn showroom in Kings Cross, Sydney (see blog story part 1). Now, they are having the time of their life travelling around the continent. Read on what they want to share with you:
“The weeks passed by so quickly … !
This has really been a very exciting time and non-stop adventure. First of all we resigned working in the restaurant, the desire to travel and leave the city has been too strong since we bought the car. Hence, on Saturday we had our last shift and on Friday we received the final pay check!
The whole week was dedicated to shopping and camping. We basically walked from shop to shop looking for everything that could be useful for our road-trip and the list goes on…. reserve tank for the car, luggage rack, gas cylinder, portable stove, tent, sleeping bags … the journey is about to kick in!
Last weekend, my workmate Nicole, a common friend of ours from New York Anthony and I headed towards Arrawarra to be part of the Mojo Surf Festival 2011. The Spot X Surf Camp which is thirty minutes north of Coffs Harbour and around three hours south of Byron Bay is a secret surf camp haven for backpackers from around the globe and a handful of locals; a place totally devoted to a surfers lifestyle. Located in a National Marine Park, Spot X provides a unique opportunity to spend time in one of Australia’s most gorgeous coastal areas promising long days in the sun and waves leading to memorable nights around the camp fire. When our company provided us with a Deluxe Campervan and FREE fuel there was no longer a decision to be made – we were heading north!
G’day TAB fans and travellers from all over the world,
Our Sydney TAB team had a blast last Tuesday with friends and clients from the industry. It was meant to be a thank you party for everyone who has been supporting our business within the last 10 years.
Our branch manager Gordon Davies organized heaps of delicious food and cold beverages for the night and invited together with Bastian Graf who is our Business Development and Marketing Manager all the tours desks, website travel and tourism agencies that helped us out for so long.
