Hi all, Well, as you know, I am now in Australia. Funny thing is that I had been looking forward to 99% of the people being able to speak English and understand me so you can imagine how disappointed I was to get in a taxi from Perth airport with a taxi driver who hardly spoke a word of English!!! Anyway, on arrival at North Lodge (which is a hostel I booked on the internet) I met Francis, the owner, who made me feel very welcome. She said that I would be just fine on my own because she tends...
Perth, Australia adeleDay 1 With a long day ahead of us we arose at 9am, had breakfast and said goodbye to the staff at Il Palazzo before returning our car to the hire company and getting dropped off at the airport. Slightly apprehensive that our carry-on luggage (a jam packed rucksack each, snorkeling equipment and a full cool bag!) would raise an eyebrow or even worse a fine, we managed to check-in with no problems. We then had an hours wait before the first leg of our flight which took us to Melbourne airport. ...
Perth, Australia gonetilwheneverDay 1 In an attempt to make an early start we set the alarm for 7am but found that our reluctance to get out of bed outweighed the persistence of the alarm so we finally awoke at 9:30 and got on the road by 11am. En route to Perth we encountered a remarkable number of kamikaze dragonflies (PIC) and made a quick stop at York (PIC) but a quick drive around the pretty little town unearthed nothing of real interest to keep us there so we swapped seats enabling Andrew to speak to his folks and con...
Perth, Australia gonetilwheneverLuckily for us our first two days in Perth were filled with glorious sunshine (it had been raining for two weeks apparently). The temperature drop by half was a welcome change as was not requiring 3 showers a day! Asia was fantastic but it was nice to get back to some civilisation although we're not sure about the western price in beer!!!. In terms of accommodation we landed on our feet, after checking out one skanky backpackers we popped into the bar next door for a cheeky half only to disco...

... red bananas. These trees take 12 years to grow their fruit unlike normal bananas but surprisingly taste EXACTLY the same. (so still yummy in other words...haha) After lunch we headed back to town where we previously had our small shopping expedition. (The seller tried to get us to buy Michael Jackson memorabilia this time around... kangas and bags mostly) Then off we drove to our final campsite - Snake Park. (Yes, it is actually a campsite next to a snake park). That night we ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia purplebuggy... just the day after we arrived, Rayna did was only the Ozzies and Irish do best, supply us with lots of drink. Firstly it was by the marina, then it was by her pool (am I making you sick yet) Ah this is the life :-) Anyway thanks to the Henderson's for a stinking hangover the next day, it was great to see you both and cant wait to see you again xx Hope all is going well in your Campervan.
I also got to catch up with another old Oz friend Ken, who was with me when we ...
... at tage på weekend sydpå ved Margaret River. Vi havde lejet et kæmpe sommerhus med 5 soveværelse lige ned til stranden, så vi startede med at pakke ud og gå en tur ned til stranden. Janne kom efter arbejde og var dernede omkring kl. 19, hvor vi spiste og bagefter blev der spillet spil og læst i bøger. Weekenden gik med at besøge The Berry Farm, hvor vi kunne smage marmelade og frugtvin og vi fik alle købt lidt spiseligt souvenir. Så fik vi spist hjemmelavet is på Simmos ...
perth, Australia stikat... usual trick - sleeping in a tree - but they are cute and adorable. We then had a very pleasant ice cream and a walk down to the lake where we saw an oblong turtle and the purple swamphen (we are ticking off the Aussie birds already - we saw a flock of ibises on a lawn yesterday in a residential area which was a mini miracle). Then we chillaxed with a nice chicken pie in the evening before bed. Today we have had a great day. We set ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia jimandnatvor unserem abflug aus yulara hatten wir noch die begegnung der besonderen art: wir sassen ganz friedlich in der abfertigungshalle, als eine frau kam, etwas zu uns sagte und ueber unsere koepfe deutete. dort oben an der wand sass eine handtellergrosse spinne!!! nachdem spinnen nicht unbedingt zu meinen lieblingstieren zaehlen, zog ich es denn doch vor, den platz zu wechseln. bei unsrem abflug konnten wir noch einmal einen blick auf ayers rock und ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia travelfitzWe hope that everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year although it must seem like a distant memory now hence the impetus to get our blog up to date! As we mentioned before Christmas, we spent the festive season with Aunty Anne and Uncle John in the South Island of New Zealand in the sleepy yet charming town of Geraldine. We hadn't seen my aunt and uncle since our last trip to New Zealand in 2003 so it was really lovely to be able to spend some quality time with them ...
