Our Fiat 500 - circa 1969

May 3rd 2018
Just as well we had come for a relaxing holiday as, next morning, we were up at 5am for our 3.5km “bushwalk” which was really a hike, whichever way you wanted to look at it! 😊 Larry Quintal was our guide – 6th generation “Bounty” mutineer descendant.

Whether it be a week here and there holidaying in Oz with family or travelling the world to far-flung and exotic places.

Hi Ren & Andrew, Thank you for our anniversary wishes. That little Fiat was such a gem. I felt like Noddy whenever we drove around in it, it was so tiny. Felt as though we had escaped from Toy Town or some such other fictional nursery rhyme village, it was such a cute little car. :) Pleased to hear that Norfolk is on you to do list. Such a fascinating destination, right on our doorstep. Thank you for dropping in. :) Jxx
