Last stop Adelaide

Last stop Adelaide - Happy new year to all of you

 

Since the last update we have experienced a lot, but we have been very busy seeing as much as the wonderful country as possible, and the internet access hasn’t been very easy, - here shortly a few highlights

 

·         Fremantle – a southern suburb in Perth, lovely beach, live music, dancing, wheatbeer at Norfolk Hotel and relaxing

·         Perth, Gosnells -  visiting Jytte and John a Danish couple very welcoming and nice (good to see you), whom Peter stayed at when he was studying 20 years ago

·         Donnybrook – a beautiful countryside with a lot of green hills and apple orchids, putting the “car a sleep” on a dark side road late in the evening, when driving was enough for the day

·         Pemberton – tall tall trees with wide branches and walking in the forrest

·         Lake Jasper -  15 k’s driving on sandy track, really taking the Landcruiser to it’s limit – forced a good technical planning and (afterwards especially lot’s of fun)

·         Margareth River – wineries, Christmas eve (redwine, cheese, venison and biscuits at the beach, watching the sunset) nice and very alternative to “wear bare feet” in December

·         Perth – Gave the car back (a little sat L) on the 27th, walking in Botanical garden in Kings Park, hanging around, trying to get comfort with being travellers without car again, staying at Exclusive backpackers, which we liked

·         Melbourne – visiting Zeynep & Toni and lovely Mavi in their new house “Pardy Street Hotel (5 stars J)”, New Yeas Eve in Melbourne  - Docklands at the waterfront – firework, rain dance and lightning

·         San Remo – Fish & Chips, a must

·         Phillip Island – Toni and Zeynep taking us on a nice trip in their car for sightseeing. Finally Adelaide, where Bob and Faye once again have opened their doors for us, lovely, relaxing and very good to be together with them again. We've been running, walking in the hills, seing Claire Valley and driven through the beautiful Barossa Valley landscape, been on a dolphinboat at Glenelg watching the graceful animals play in the water. 

FINADenmark is calling within 18 hours, we're getting prepared for a snowy winter/Denmark and are looking forward to meeting you all again after 7 amazing Aussie/weeks.

 

Cheers - vi ses lige om lidt.

 

Peter and Charlotte
