Afternoon All! Had a great sleep, must be the salt air, (had nothing to do from all the travelling I am sure! Heehee) - both of us woke fresh and ready to go. MrC caught up with his washing, while I cooked breakfast etc. MrC came back from the washing room, saying he was enjoying talking to the people with us down in the units near there, he said Oh it was really nice to talk to them.. and I say…I told you so, and he says… don’t keep going on about it…I just laugh because I knew he would love it all. All it took was getting him here! We had to turn up at 8.30 am this morning at Pinetop Tours, and off we went all around the island looking at the older settlement ... read more

Hi All, A very despondent not happy Ruffie and MrC here, for the 2nd time we turned up at the airport only to be told by a Norfolk Island Air representative that the plane is cancelled again for today. Seems the weather is beyond us, and as it’s really clouded in they don’t fly….. So neither do we…tonight we get to stay at the Mercure Hotel, just across the way from the airport, so we wait….get annoyed, and wait the weather out! Just across from the hotel we stayed in when we first got here to Sydney. Nothing to do, MrC is watching TV and the cricket, stupid thing is if we had of known we were not flying to the island today we could have actually gone to the Sidney Cricket Ground to see the ... read more

Hi All! We both slept pretty well until Charlie nudged me at 6.30 am saying “fix your c-pap machine”…. I said no I think it’s the alarm clock radio on your side….turns out it was a hairdryer next door….and so started our full day in Sydney. Made arrangements with SheLion to meet with her, she was gracious enough to rearrange her day for us as she thought we were here for a week or so and I didn’t know she thought that as we are in Sydney only two days… Thank you Sheline, you are as always a wonderful lady! We had fun riding the train system here in Sydney, its amazing… we only missed one train because it was going back the same way we came into the station and didn’t realise that the “Glenfield” ... read more

Hello Everyone! Well after starting out our day thinking....OH WE ARE ON HOLIDAYS......then thinking of the last minute things to do before leaving... Well it all got done, thank goodness, no worries to carry away with us, and even though we left an hour later than we wanted to, at about 10 am, we didn't mind....we said what the heck we are on holidays so didn't mind at all. Travel was really good, we took our time, and most of the traffic was light until we left Amanda & Sway. We stopped in Devonport to conclude some business, and have lunch. (For Rick's benefit) Charlie had an all day breakfast of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, sausages, and mushrooms with toast...heehee I just had a roast chicken dinner. Chicken & Gravy, potatoes, pumkin, peas and carrots. We then ... read more
