So when the hostel you try to call doesn't go through because the number is disconnected, should you be concerned? I should've been. After driving EIGHT straight hours from Brisbane, I arrived in Forster to realize that the YHA hostel there was no longer in existence. This place wasn't like a normal city at home where a hotel has 24-hour reception and stuff like that, and I surely wasn't going to drive any more, so that left me with only one choice: to sleep in the car. I broke out all my warm clothes and my foil blanket given to us by World Youth Day and went to sleep. I had to start the car and pump the heat a couple of times during the night but I made it though.
I got up early enough to catch sunrise at Cape Hawke in Booti Booti National Park and then moved down the Lakes Way to the largest tree in New South Wales which you can see below.
It's past 2AM here and so I really need to go to sleep so that I can catch my flight tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see all of you from home again! I hope that this blog has made you part of the pilgrimage that I have made and I hope to talk to you about it in person when I arrive home! I will be home Tuesday evening, July 29th!
