Blogs are like buses, you wait 2 weeks for one, then 2 come along at once! I'm blogging this now as Verlie is off to Singapore tommorow and I will be "Sans Laptop" for a few days, so.............. At the very start of this blog, a few months back, I wondered what tales the coming pages would hold, the highs, but also the inevitable lows that we would document. I was, and still am fully committed to making this blog an accurate representation of our experiences, and not just the good bits to make you think we are basking in everlasting sunshine, that we never have to work, and everything is wonderful, this blog is a document of our lives and as we all know, life isn’t always so perfect. I’m writing this from the relative ... read more

So we’ve been here a few days now and I know Mark has blogged about our interesting night in a local pub but maybe not so much about what life in the Ozi Inn is like and all the other info that happens on a day to day basis so let me fill you in. The one thing I can say about the Ozi Inn is that the bathrooms, toilets, kitchens and bed sheets are clean. In all honesty if they weren’t Mark and I would have checked out the following day.

When were back home again and looking back Today will be one of the days that will be one of the first that springs to mind. A perfect day. Having booked a hotel that was just 0.5km from the start of the run at the WACA to minimise travel stress in the morning . Philip manages to get lost on route this despite the fact the WACA has massive floodlights is next to the river and virtual impossible to lose from the locations we are in. After franticly charging round we find ourself a local and we have managed to walk about half mile the wrong way! we managed to get back at the start line at 7.29am for the 7.30 time we are supposed to arrive. The weather is raining and windy but the run ... read more

I heard of people trafficking but teddy bear trafficking is just wrong some Japanese tourists offered Philip $100(£60)for me today. he actually look liked he was considering it! how rude luckily he remembers I don't actually belong to him. what was he going to do get a cheap replacement for me from Target. What would Bobby say? Why do Japanese people take pictures of EVERYTHING! I mean does anyone actually look at the two million photos an hour they take. I know I m cute but is someone in Japan really going to care about seeing pictures of me they are all bonkers. We spend the morning in the city doing boring stuff before going to Kings Park for the afternoon. Kings Park is a 4.06-square-kilometre The park is a mixture of grassed parkland, botanical gardens ... read more
