You may comment on the lack of whales in the "Whale watching pictures" but that was because my lovely camera was a little on the slow side so I ended up with lots of pictures of the pacific ocean! Was a great day out though and the whales came really close to the boat. They are amazing creatures when you get to see them like that. World Youth Da...

Yes it's November and Isaac is now almost 5 months old! And November in Sydney is Movember where men grow Moes... though try as he might, Bri has trouble cultivating... The start of November sees in a new year for Therese and this year there is an extra special package as we all celebrated the arrival of our first niece. On November the 2nd, Ron...

We have now been in Sydney for 3 days and have a further 3 to go before picking up our vehicle. We are staying at the Strand Hotel on William St. a great location in the city centre. We have a clean en-suite room for 60 dollars a night, good value for a city centre. We have been to the Australian museum which we found to be very good although we...

I left Adelaide by train and was bound for Sydney. It was the last leg of my overland adventure from London and I felt good to be on the final "straight". The train was around 30 hours and dragged a little if I'm honest. It's fair to say in the last few days my plans have changed a bit but more about that in the next entry. I arrived in Sydney t...

After 2 glorious weeks in SA we arrived in Sydney, timing it to coincide with Queens Day (that's the Dutch Queens' mother) on the 30th April 2007. The week passed quickly, with little time to recover from the effects of jet lag as we met up with friends and (potential) work colleagues and enjoyed the sights and sounds of what has to be one of th...

So far now, my tour of Australia has ended but my travels throughout this continent are not yet over. I got to see some amazing views of the Blue Mountains and the 12 Apostles along Australia's southern coast. I witnessed the most dominant tennis player in the world defeat my countryman in style and scored an autograph. Snorkeling and scuba-divi...

Dec. 12, 2006 Our last day in New Zealand was the day summer finally arrived. It had been cold, wet and windy during our entire stay here. When we got up this morning we put on our usual layers of clothing for NZ weather, but soon the sun, which hadn't shown itself much before, was shining and we had to peel several layers off to keep from sweat...

Well, I'm sitting in an internet cafe a couple of hours away from my last sight of Australia...for now. There is no place like this in the world. Australia has the feel of American life with the hospitality and beauty of a third world country. You have all of your basic malls and convenience stores, but some of the best mom and pop stops serving...

Note to selves: NEVER FLY WITH VIRGIN BLUE AGAIN! All checked in with 10 minutes before boarding and annoucement came over the tannoy that out flight had been cancelled and we were told to collect our baggage from the carousell??? Fi didn't hear the announcement and it took Gaz a good five minutes to convince her that he wasn't joking. FI - "You...

OMG. I can't begin to describe the horrible, horrible feeling I have right now. Stupid, Stupid Kellie. We managed to get an extension on the check out time to allow some more time for Kellie to use the bathroom repeatedly before heading out to the airport and our flight to Tongatapu. This is where my wonderful friends remind me of my words spoke...
