What a difference PURPOSE makes ... how easy was it to stay awake and buzzing for this morning's 0140 QF829 from Darwin to Sydney ... TOO easy for sure. Although we had to go for plan B (skip the taxi and drive ourselves to the airport in the HiLux) - it was smooth all the way and absolutely laced in anticipation - something I can't say about th...

After getting up late - we slept so well last night - today is still a bank holiday in oz so gail and bill insist we stay a little longer as they want to take us to the best restaurant for brekkies in Australia - una's in kings cross. They were right - it was the best breakfast we've had! Last night we were talking about selling maz and the plac...

i think its about time i updated this since i have about 10 others to update so il ive ita go trying to remember stuff(copying stuff off q's and shauns lol). so me and latch had a monster 14 hour flight which actually was as bad as the 7 hour one from london to toronto i thought. it was a pretty cool plane which had on demand films and mostly ne...

Sydney, Australia Finally we are here. Officially on the other end of the Earth. Despite me being abnormally concerned about a 12 hour flight predominantly over water, we arrived safe and sound (thanks to free plane wine and a couple sleepy time pills :) What I always find amazing whenever we travel somewhere exotic is that in most places of the...

I've only just got back from a family Christmas trip to Melbourne and it's been an interesting start to the silly season so far. 1 week in Melbourne and one thing I have to say is that Murphy's Law holds true. Sunny and hot the day we drove there and the day we drove back, but incredibly cold, wet, and windy in between. Total travelled KM's in 1...

Been to quite a few famous beaches so far but Kat (England), Noel (Switzerland), Seb (Germany) and I decided to check out perhaps the most famous of them all, Bondi Beach. Not wanting to look like the odd ones out Seb hired a surf board and joined the others out on the waves trying to hang ten or just settling for being able to hang on. The smal...

Since our last pod (many moons ago) we have had a few nice surprises, been very busy at work and enjoyed (If you can call England's performance enjoyable!)the world cup so far and felt it was finally time for our flailing travelpod to rise like a pheonex from the flames. The biggest surprise (for Laura at least) was the arrival of her little sis...

ON the famous east coast!!!!!!!!! Our flight was about 4 hours from Perth to Sydney. The views from the top were amazing. Qantus is a really good airline. The movies you could watch on the plane were awesome. YOu could choose to watch over 20 movies. I watched the 40 year old virgin. It was hilarious. It was sad to say goodbye to Kristens family...

So, we left New Zealand and arrived in Sydney on 22nd December to spend an action packed week with Jill and David, our Scottish ex-London neighbours. They've been in Sydney for about 18 months on a contract with David's work and are loving the Aussie life there. They have an amazing flat in a city centre area called The Rocks where you can walk ...

Arrived in Sydney about 6pm and checked into the hostel. Bought some groceries and made some dinner. Took a night stroll down to Circular Quay and had another look at the Opera House and Harbor Bridge. Even though this was my third visit to Sydney I think probably every visit it's necessary to check out those two attractions:-) Had a lovely pist...
