Had been 4.5 years since landing back on aussie soil after our 6 months of travel around europe in a kombi. Inspired by others blogs and with the travel bug biting us hard once again we decided it was about time to start planning another vagabonding experience. The last 4.5 years had been jam packed with buying a house and solidifying our positions on the corporate ladder.

Beach etiquette
That always happens to us...people have the WHOLE beach to sit on and they come and sit right on top of us. There really should be mandatory beach etiquette lessons or guides distributed to people going to beaches!

beach etiquette
I know right! You would think they would leave at least a 200m radius clear!? ;) One time in Greece, we were sitting on the beach and a bloke literally walked behind us ON TOP OF our towel, not around it, but on top of it. I almost knocked his block off......

Love this photo. Glad you had a good time. Must admit I had to laugh at your description of the beach entertainment and dogs. Great descriptions. I guess you picked the best spot and they wanted to join you. Keep on with Happy travels.
