Well, home at last! At this stage, I have very mixed feelings about being back in Australia. Whilst I did have times during my trip that I wished I was home, these feelings tended to be infrequent and passed relatively quickly. I did have a great time travelling - meeting new people, seeing and experiencing something new each and every day. Still, all good things must come to an end and it is time for me to start replenishing my bank accounts given the severe thrashing they have taken over the past 6 months. On the positive side, in the 2 weeks I have been home…. § I have managed to catch up with a few of my friends and some of my family and that really has been great. I am really looking forward to ... read more

Nous voila donc pretes a quitter Melbourne. Nous nous sommes levees tot pour empaqueter nos affaires dans la voiture et payer le parking (qui n'est gratuit que jusque 7h30). Apres avoir tout descendu et tappe plus de 3 dollars dans cette foutue machine (j'ai failli ecrire "dans ce foutu orodateur", mais je ne suis sure ni du mot, ni de l'orthagraphe... si quelqu'un se sent l'ame a eclairer ma lanterne sur le sujet... avis aux amateurs!), on a le plaisir de decouvrir un charmant (tres ironique cette fois) PV sur notre pare-brise! Et oui... premier jour avec notre voiture, premier PV. C'est tout de meme ralant! On l'a eue tres mauvaise pendant les quelques premiers secondes, mais au final, on l'a pris comme il se doit : NO WORRIES ... il doit encore se trouver quelque ... read more
