Christmas update 3

Boy, are you gonna get LOOOOTS of replies!
Gday over there in cold land!!! Freakin HOT over here in Melbourne at the moment ..over 40 degrees celcuis for the whole week! You may know we have had a boy daniel now...2.5 years old..cant wait til he is older to get out of the crying at night EVERY NIGHT stage and needs either Mum or dad there till he drifts off! Josephine is good now at nights. She is speaking Czech and english and is amazing how she converts what she just says to Julie and then turns to me and says it in English! Is that the same with your twins?Only a short holiday (1 week) this year at Mt Beauty (Victoria) this year.we had it good last year with 4 weeks in Tasmania...the last 3 days i think was JUST a bit too long!! we split it in half camping and half units/accomodation...I think the dodgiest was at Zeehan...a caravan that had a leaking sink...into the caravan itself!!I got bogged at King Lake!!!I juuuuust decided to turn around when I think I was going to get bogged if I continued on the waterfront track, when BANG!! sunk in mud/sludge...up to the axles!!!!I had a winch(i have a Toyota Hilux twin cabin 4WD)...but no anchor point in direct line!!!! had to zig zag winch on trees I could find....If you use Facebook, then search Marty Felber......If you are on FB then friend me and you can get to see heaps of pics of our travels!We are still in Rowville, Melbourne. Julies contract didnt get renewed in August(just 6 weeks back from maternity leave), so now she is full time mum...she is going to start a graphic online selling "wall paintings" ..google a place called wall fry http://www.wallfry.com.au/ its something similar to this site, but Julies artistic skills are much better than what this site offers.i am off next week on my annual fishing Mecca up in the high country around Omeo, but its NOTHING compared to the wonderful fishing experiences of NZ south island!!!!Julie went mid last year to Czech for 6 weeks and I stayed here. I managed to get over to tassie for 10 days and that was great by myself...hiking..sightseeing etc (cold mind you)..I had some adventures there on the hikes....I have done heaps in NZ but what troubles I got into in Tassie was amazing.....Got absolutely bush lost for 2 hours....lost my glasses(twig hooked onto my glasses on a tree and flinged them into the bush)...lucky I had a spare set! almost would have died of hypothermia one night as I refilled my water bottle at night at a creek up on a plateau(the water source was only 70 metres from my tent).it was 4 degrees with wind blowing and FOGGY AS!!!i went out in boxers and tshirt to refill(as it had rained the WHOLE 5 HOURS whilst walking). lucky I took my GPS and marked the tent spot and water spot...it was literally like trying to find the tent from the water source with your eyes shut!!!!My head torch didnt pick up the tent until I was 10 metres from it!!!thats how thick the cloud was!!thats about it....We are getting to know a few people via a Czech community called Sumava up at Belgrave Heights area so thats good for both of us to meet new people! so I am gunna have alook at your other pics now .....see ya!
