Our first afternoon in Tuncurry
10:28pm 03/10/2008
Tuncurry is a very nice, albeit small, town. I gotta say, it's just refreshing to know that not all drivers are like the ones in Sydney. We found our place alright, and it's a much nicer place then the apartment we stayed in in Sydney. The loungeroom and kitchen here are almost as big as the entire apartment back in Sydney. There's also room to unpack our bags this time! :P Unfortunately, the only way to get to the room this time is by walking up two flights of stairs.
After we'd checked in Mum and Andrew went shopping while me and Dad went to the local hardware store that his brother (who's named Godfrey) owns to meet up with him and organise what we were doing for dinner tonight. The whole reason for coming north for a couple of days was purely to see Godfrey and where he lived again, as we haven't been here for about 5 years now.
Once we got back to the unit I watched the rest of The Matrix Reloaded, before we headed out to dinner with Godfrey to the sister town on the other side of the river, Forster (although everyone here pronounces it Foster :S). We went to an American restaurant called the Hog's Breath Cafe. It was a really nice place with some decent food.
It was also really nice to catch up with Godfrey, talking about a whole range of things. At one point my Mum started talking about my hair (I just rolled my eyes). She then proceeded to talk about Godfrey's hair, and tried to convince him that he should have a haircut. Godfrey replied with “I've already had a haircut this year”. Mum couldn't understand, so she said something like “Why don't you get another one?” Godfrey's simple response: “I just can't be bothered!” I instantly gave him a high five. It was great to finally see someone else who shared my view about hair :P.
All in all, it's been a pretty enjoyable afternoon and evening. I think we're gonna have a great time over the next couple of days.
