Idag gik det endelig op for os hvorfor vi bliver ved med at stoede ind i folk naar vi gaar paa gaden. Her holder man naturligvis til venstre!!! Det gaar rigtig godt med at koere bil. Jeg koerte ALENE til yoga i Bunbury Centrum i gaar aftes. Deltog i en yogatime paa et lokalt yogacenter. Jeg naaede lige at komme til tiden da jeg tog en omvej (ikke med vilje...) og desuden skulle lede efter parkering. Efter yogatimen var det saa blevet moerkt og jeg maatte ringe til Morten og faa ham til at give praecise instrukser i hjemturen. Det lykkedes med lidt held :-) Generelt er opdelingen saaledes, at jeg koerer og Morten guider. I dag har pigerne lavet pebernoedder med Rhina og Morten og jeg har vaeret alene paa stranden. Den rigtige strand og ... read more

Saa er vi naaet frem til Bunbury paa Australiens vestkyst. Flyveturen gik godt. Vi floej med Emirates og det kan kun varmt anbefales. Helt fantastik service og paa den laengste flyvning var vi saa heldige, at der ikke var fyldt op og begge pigerne kunne derfor ligge godt. Freja paa gulvet og Ida paa to saeder. Der var Ipad med film, spil, tv og radio i lange baner ved hvert saede. Noget vi alle fire noed godt af. Vi landede i gaar kl. ca. 17:30 i Perth. Rhina og Neil tog imod os og taarerne fik frit loeb. Herligt! Bilen blev hentet og vi var lykkelige for, at Neil koerte. Det havde ikke vaeret forsvarligt at koere i den forkerte side af vejen saa sent med saa meget jetlag. Jetlag har vi stadig og heldigvis saa ... read more

Relaxing times were had at the house sit in Bunbury over the past two weeks. The house was very comfortable and the dogs kept us entertained but also on our toes as we tried to keep them from barking and disturbing the entire street. Amazing how much noise two little creatures can make.....the sound of a feather landing on a pillow would set them off! Rachel also did a fantastic job giving one of the dogs medication that she clearly did not want to take. It was a little game in the end and the little pill would be strategically placed among some various meat pieces and then we sat with fingers crossed that it wasn't spat straight back out again. Being relatively close to the city we took the opportunity to have the van serviced ... read more

Hard work moving on after staying in a cracker of a place but all good things must come to an end. We slowly worked our way back down towards Bunbury in the morning (Friday) and stopped off in beautiful Pinjarra in the Peel Region. The town has the Murray River flowing through it down from the scenic hills and is full of history. We've pencilled this in for a stay at a later date. We made it through to Australind for lunch and stopped to enjoy the tranquil coastline yet again. After that we checked into another local caravan park. Polar opposites to the accommodation from the previous night but not too bad in the grand scheme of things. After an early dinner we hit the pavement again for another evening jog.....it's a whole lot easier ... read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience of living on a one acre property and doing all the tasks that went along with it for this house sit. Hats off to the couple who live here.....the gentleman is in his 80's and on average Rachel and I put in about three hours of work everyday to keep things running smoothly. All the animals needed to be fed and tended to and as previously stated there were dogs, cats, fish, birds and chickens. Walking the dogs was a relatively easy experience and kept us fit and healthy as the loop their owners take them on is roughly six kilometres. On the second or third day the pups decided to try and jump ship to freedom; however, after a lot of waiting and calling along the path by the ... read more
