Yeah, it's perfectly normal. Water is one of the products of combustion, and cars with catalytic converters (not yours, but still) produce a bit more because the cat converts dodgy gases to ok gases, and one of the ok gases is water (in the form of steam of course). So when the muffler & tip etc are still cold, the steam condenses on the cold surface and you can see it driping out of the exhaust.
The only thing you should be careful with is doing lots of 5-10 min journeys, where your car doesn't get to warm up properly, and the water builds up in the muffler & rusts it out.
A mate of mines muffler ruted out in about 3-4 months cos he works only 5 mins or so from his home.
