... ages ago. Kathryn came out to look for us in her car and sure enough, we&#8217;d missed the turning about 15 minutes back. Not a great start. We arrived sweaty and grumpy and spent the evening trying to cool down.<br> The next day was far more successful. We got up and had a croissant breakfast with Sarah (Rachel&#8217;s sister for anyone who hadn&#8217;t realised she&#8217;s with us now too), Kathryn and her son Jiah then set off to ...

Good morning everyone! Well, I am back on the road again, and enjoying the sun on the Gold Coast. I met a couple when I was in Melbourne (friends of the people I was staying with down there) who live on the Gold Coast, so they very kindly offered me a place to stay while I was working in Brisbane. I intend to take full advantage of the time here by visiting places like the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Australia Zoo, which I have wanted to see for ages but never gotten around ...

Their house is a dream - designed by an architect for himself ...

... Handy number spent strolling about a lovely 40 acre site in the city with most of it native bush and full of wildlife including brown snakes which I have yet to encounter. We even saved a baby owl one day! Doing a bit of mowing, weeding planting etc but when you team leader tells you twice in your first day to slow down and take it easy you just know you've landed on your feet. Its been brilliant working there, although not in 37 degree heat!! As its the ...

A sad day to be sure....very early departure from Hotel Loucas to get to small local airport at Santorini, to make our flight back to Athens on mainland Greece. Not a very long wait until we boarded our Singapore Airlines jet bound for Brisbane (9hrs in the air), via a short 4 hr stopover in Singapore itself (great chance to stretch the poor legs ...
