Point Brisbane

So as you know I decided to take a year out + go travelling around Australia!<br>My trip 'of a lifetime' did not start of well! <br><br>Firstly, when I left home on September the 8th, I missed my connecting flight from London - Singapore, so had to stay in a hotel on my own for the first time! I was so gutted, just wanted to come home! I know Im dramatic! LOL! But I pushed through never the less, + had a 10hour wait in London Heathrow the day after ...

... to see how they are, Gerogia was asleep, but Fergus was up, he is not a well baby, teething maybe.<br>I am kinda over airports, but if this is the price one pays for super cheap airfares, well so be it, am not sure who knows, but my departure from Auckland was traumatic, I was actually travelling on one of ...

Ok, we've been home for a while now (since 30 June), but we had to finish the travel blog at some time. And that time is now.<br><br>We arrived back to our little home and have now moved in, with just about everything sorted.

The chef was amazing and even took our order. <br><br>That night we all packed and just talked about how much fun we had together. The next morning they left about 9:30am. Brian and I were sure sad to see them go. We know they were missing our Dad's, but a few more days would have been nice. We had such a wonderful ...

... Up bright and early the next day, we went for a bike ride from our hostel to the lighthouse at the eastern tip. A special mention has to go to Miss Danielle Jauncey who failed to work out the technicalities of the footbrake in time as she hurtled down a hill and into a stop (the irony!) sign at the botom of the hill. Arriving seconds later, Marko the German and I found her in a heap next to the stop sign with a few nice grazes on her arms and legs but luckily ...

Hi everyone. We have only covered a tiny portion of our adventure and are stranded already! Customs can't release the truck until Tuesday, at the earliest, due to the long Easter weekend.The weather has been fab everyday, encouraging us to go for good long walks exploring the city. John, Viv and the children were in town on Monday and we caught up with them over an evening drink. On Tuesday we cheated and ...

... on se, että huoneesta ei malttais lähtee ulos lainkaan. Perjantai ilta istuttiinkin huoneessa katsomassa telkkarista elokuvaa ja tuhottiin pullo viiniä minibaarista. Oltiin kyllä käyty katsastamassa Brisbanen keskusta ennen sitä. Ei siis istuttu huoneessa koko päivää! Lauantaina lähdettiin kiertoajelulle hop-on hop-off bussilla. Jäätiin vain muutaman kerran bussista pois. Ensimmäinen pysähdys tehtiin Mt ...

... it appeared that the cloud cover was finally lifting, only to discover visibility was still less than 3 feet. At least we weren't one of the tour groups that had paid good money to drive 2 hours from Sydney to get a close up view of a cloud; · Having a family debate on the ethical treatment of children with colds. I tried to avoid catching a cold myself by not kissing any member of the family who had a nose resembling an erupting ...
