three day trip - first day...

no photos yet...
....I LOST ( am I only loosing things at the moment?) my cable to download pictures off my camera. Great. As I haven't had enough expenses recently.
I left Sydney Sunday morning, went to the gas station AND!!! drove into a fuel pump.
Great. Again: AS I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH EXPENSES RECENTLY...
The guy put down my number and the manager called me in the evening to let me know how much it cost and to offer me accomadation when for I'm getting back to Sydney.
Maybe I'll take the offer and make up the cost of the broken pump. Plus, in the morning the guy forgot to keep the merchant's copy of my credit card bill. Which is half the pump. It's not all that bad after all.
Getting out of the City took forever, but it became worse: It started raining. Badly. VERY.
I couldn't see out of any window, and I hated it, but I didn't know where to stop and wait for the rain to end, so I just kept on driving. Stopping. Wiping the windows. Warming up (yes, it's summer in Australia and I was freezing cold!) in gas stations. Driving again.
....until after three hours the sun came out and I finally became friends with my new car and driving was fun, and the sunset was beautiful, and the country was endless, and I felt great!
Stopped in Wagga Wagga for the night, got chinese food and watched Friends in bed on my laptop.
