La Vida on Anzac Redcliffe

... sie na pierwszy pozywny posilek w Hamilton. Byly to wlasnie f&c i to na dodatek w chinskiej knajpie. Pamietam radosc z jaka odwijalismy cieple zawiniatko tradycyjnie zawiniete w gazete i smak ryby skropionej cytryna, wszystko to w pieknym zielonym otoczeniu i czystym nowozelandzkim powietrzu. aaach:)

W tegorocznym australijskim wydaniu popijalismy to wszystko jeszcze australijskim bialym winem;) Simple, but delicious! :)

... komforten.. alt! Eksempler på komfort du vanligvis ikke finner på en annen flyplass kan jo være svømmebasseng og gratis internett. Singapore har jo et ganske rent rykte som jeg vil delvis bekrefte og avbekrefte. Jeg bodde et stykke utenfor hovedkjernen i byen og der var det langt ifra så rent som i sentrum. Men det prøves hvertfall med advarsler, bossbøtter osv overalt. Jeg hadde ca 1 døgn i det berømte lille landet og fant fort ut, akkurat ...

... It looked wonderful by night, all lit up, and we had a fabulous evening with our new, very generous friend, who footed the majority of the bill. Whilst we were glad to leave the suburban slum, we became quite attached to Brisbane, with its beautiful architecture and generous locals. I was quite sad to leave the next day, but eager to get to a nicer site to dump the old backpack. Bring on the campsite at Burleigh Heads :)

Jack: We got to the Hub in Roma parklands on time and met the guide, an old chap called Ian, a volunteer who works there one day a week. It was really interesting to be taken round a garden and have some of the history, workings and plants explained. We found out that the lizards that attacked me yesterday were Eastern Eater Dragons and the big bent beak birds are ibis, and they are to Brisbane as pigeons are to Nottingham. Yvette thinks the Ibis are realy cool ...

Der Weg von Mooloolaba nach Brisbane zu meinem neuen Apartment war recht angenehm, da ich von der einen Haustür bis zur anderen mit dem Auto gefahren wurde. Sehr praktisch, bei meinem Gepäck! Dort angekommen habe ich ein sehr schönes Apartment mit Gym, Pool und großer Lobby vorgefunden (217$ die Woche). Luxuriöser als im Hotel! Lady, die Südamerikanerin, die meine zukünftige Mitbewohnerin werden sollte, hat mich erst ...

... days before new year wondering around the city again and also caught up with my friend Jill who we saw in Melbourne. New Years Eve, we all headed off into the city on the train.. along with our stash of food and drink for the day. We then had to get a bus to a place called balmain east where we arrived about 2 O'clock and found ourselves right on the banks of the harbour over looking the Harbour Bridge.. the view was fantastic. We claimed our spot for ...

Checked out at 10am and went for a walk round the town centre - not much to report. After a couple of hours we jumped back in the van and headed down to Shelley Beach to have lunch. This is a fantastic quiet little bay area. There were free BBQ's available to use again, so we rustled up a few Old English Bangers for lunch - Fab. We then just vegged by the beach for about 3 hours. If we'd been allowed to camp here, we would have stayed for the night - it was so relaxed. However ...

... in Australia. Avicennia marina is a hardy beast, surviving with consumate ease in both high and law salt environments. Which is when another beast entered the fray. Midges! These *******s are more persistent than Hillary Clinton in a presidential nomination race and they pack a much, much nastier bite! While we fought a losing battle against the sandflies, I was in time to save JM from enmeshing himself in a Garden Orb spider ...

... for 2 nights at the luxurious Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort. Settling in to the styli 4 bedroom apartment overlooking the ocean I could have stayed all morning and sipped wine on the balcony. We spent the afternoon wandering down to the shipwreck, playing in the sandy beach and exploring the resort. The main attraction however begins at around 6pm when a pod of dolphins arrive by the jetty for their nightly feed. The dolphins started coming because the lights around ...

... to sit down. As I looked about for a seat I managed to walk by every other person who was sitting around churfing into a paper bag. This did not help. Moments after I sat down I got up and went outside, I was nearly sick. I managed to keep it down by taking a nap at the back of the boat. While I may have missed out on half the whales I saved my dignity on the loveably named-by my friend Colin-the barf boat. Surf and churf anyone?
