Woo hoo, 42 days til we are out of here! Mitch put in his resignation yesterday, he can finally let the cat out the bag and get excited!!!! He did ask to unpaid leave but the company he works for doesnt do it :-( I found an awesome cruise the other day that we are thinking about doing. Its from Venice to Venice and its only $800 each for 7 nights. I dont think we would be able to get 7 night accommodation and eat every day in venice for $1600 so we are totally stoked. We have to be out of the house in less than 3 weeks so the tenants can move in, im excited but scared, and I still have so much to pack!!! They were meant to buy the car as well ... read more

OMG..... I cant believe we leave Oz in 53 days!!! Where has the time gone?! Mitch is starting to get really excited, I can hear it in his voice when I speak to him each night. When he comes home from work on Thursday we are going to sit down and write his resignation. Then he can finally let the cat out the bag at work and start to get super excited.

Arrived in Australia to perfect weather, sun and cooling breezes. Western Australia is in the midst of a drought at the moment, so looking a bit brown here. Have been taking it easy after my travels through Asia, catching up with my Aunt Sheila and wandering round Rockingham, a small seaside town with a nice beach and clear waters. It's good to be somewhere english speaking again with normal food.... read more

A Different Country It was really easy with us being collected from the airport by Jen and Mark, the lovely people who own the motorhome we are going to be borrowing. They took us to their home near Rockingham where we were introduced to our home for the following three weeks. It is a converted Transit van, a bit smaller than ours and a bit smaller. We found it a bit poky in comparison. However, it works well and has all the comforts we shall need. Next day we set off to the local nudist club, Sunseekers Inc., based to the east of Perth in the hills right next to John Forrest National Park. A lovely setting with lots of friendly people. We enjoyed their sitting around at sunset, a sundowners meeting. A bit more ... read more
