Australia was always going to be the most difficult country for Helen and I. Not because of the giant spiders and killer snakes but because of something much much worse... we had to get JOBS!!!! AAARRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! Yes... Helen and Sam had to work! A travesty I hear you say! How could we work? We are supposed to be professional bums! We're not built to work!! But unfortunately, due to Helen's pa... Read Full Entry

The Harbour Bridge

A famous Sydney sight.

Sydney

Was a beautiful city.

Bush Walkers

You can't come to Australia without going bush walking! Or so they tell us!

Bush Tucker

Unfortunately we weren't brave enough to eat insects from the bush. White bread sandwiches is as dangerous as we would go!

The Bush

It's a jungle out there!

Helen on the ferry

A great way to beat traffic jams is to catch a boat instead.

Shanghai at Night

A little like Hong Kong, we thought.

Shanghai and Coke

Now that's a big coke!! What do you reckon??? 500ml? 1000ml?

Bus in China

This bus cost 3pence for a ride... can you see why?

Shanghai Island

Luke, Natalie and Helen

Here we are on Surfers Paradise beach, with our friends, Luke and Natalie.

Finally we are in Perth

You can see Perth in the background (if you are not too obsessed with looking at Me that is)

Hidden Dangers

We were on a run and saw this sign. CRIKEY!

Not So Hidden Dangers!

And the we saw this SNAKE!!! DOUBLE CRIKEY! It's a dangerous one too!

The lovely couple.

I've slept in stranger places.

The back of the car actually proved quite comfortable.

Relaxing on the beach

Check this out!

The tortoise is getting FRISKY!!

Parrots

There are so many different kinds of Parrots in Oz.

Parrots II

Ooohhhh.... colourful!

We Win At Bowls

Helen looks happy as we beat Luke and Natalie at bowls. To prove we are the most like OAP's!!

Lies
Can I just remind 'Your Highness'.... that this is coming from the guy that, on the same trip, thought the song 'I got a woman' was originally written and performed by Jamie Foxx and that Ray Charles did a cover version of it - from the dead!!! Helen and I may not be Michael Palin or Judith Charmers but we know our popular culture.... your just not down with the kids anymore old man!! P.S This blog was very average... try harder next time.

Wow! What a Country!
Well, Sam, you've done it again. Well done for another great blog! Even Rebekah and Chris enjoyed looking at it yesterday and they are only 5 and 6 years old! Great photos, good narrative. But you'd better start taking the tablets now for the American Football! As for showing the world Adam's wet bum and making fun of him leaving home..................I don't know. He will get his revenge one day! What were you three up to??? As usual it makes enjoyable reading for us all (Sam Pritchard enjoyed reading it and is looking forward to the USA blog) and we can't wait to hear all the detail of your adventures. Love, Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
