Airlie Beach, OZ
I made it! Bob has left Agnes Water! We left on Wednesday, I waking early for a morning surf to start my final day. Didn't catch a single wave, seemed fitting somehow. I got the Vac packed enough to get out of town and then started making my goodbye and farewells. That took a few hours.
I said goodbye finally to Paul and then we headed to the Servo (gas station) to fuel up. Ran into Noah there. Eva commented that I'd likely see three more people to say goodbye to before we actually made it out of town. She was half right. I ran into two more people in town, Preacher Paul and Irish Steve. #3 was Mac from the shuttle bus, but I ran into him in Miriamvale. But, by 4pm we were cruising on the open road, Agnes Water receding in my rearview mirror.
We spent the first night in Yepoon, the gateway to Great Keppel Island. It was a bit late by the time we arrived so we stayed in a caravan park, it was only $5 each, so not bad. The next night we headed up to Serina, which is just south of Mackay. There we camped near Grasstree Beach on a hillside with a wonderful view overlooking the water.
We got up at a decent hour yesterday and made the final leg of the drive up to Airlie. Eva and I decided to stay in a caravan park just off the main drag which is $20 for the two of us per night, so not bad. It's a really nice spot, with power. Today, is a lazy day, no driving, just some relaxing and getting the van into better shape. Last night, Eva and I hit the town, and had a few drinks at a club. It was a great time. We ran into Mike and Corey from Agnes who had just gotten back from their Whitsundays cruise. I entrusted Corey with letter that I'd been asked to deliver to Chris who had already headed farther North.
Eva and I are going to head out sailing on Tuesday. We've got a three day/two night sailing cruise on the Condor, a former racing yacht. It looks very nice, we're both getting rather excited about this. This boat is the last "perk" that I got before leaving STA. Good thing it was an open reservation as it's taken me well over a year and a half to actually show up and use it. I was also able to get a bit of a discount for Eva, which had her bubbling over lunch yesterday.
So, that's where things stand as of now. The past few days have been amazing. It's crazy how well Eva and I are getting along, it's freaking both of us out a bit. And I'm not going to read too much into it but our feet are exactly the same size. At any rate, every day's been a good one so far. We're still taking things one day at a time, even though we get along great, we're still very different people and are still getting used to each other. But, the sex keeps getting better, and better.
