On the road again

So here we are..5 months have gone by since we left Europe, believe it or not.
After driving for 3 whole days we ended up in Adelaide and after a weeks journey to Melbourne we are now back in Adelaide to celebrate Christmas with our new found family!

Here are a few pics from our road trip across Australia. This car is called a high top and fits 2 people. Perfect!

We got it through a relocation deal which basically means that when a car rental company needs a car to be somewhere else they let people like us drive it there for free, instead of getting one of their own men to do it.

Breakfast

 

We had four days to return the car in Adelaide so we spent 3 nights in 3 different caravan parks and lived it up with a few stubbies!

 

In the outback

After a few nights in Adelaide we took the bus down to Melbourne and managed to squeeze in a week with the legendary Cathal before Christmas.

On the last night there we started up in the highest bar in Australia, then we went to the casino and then home for a legendary Christmas Party with Cathal's roommates, Steven and Sorcha.

The Casino entrance

After a lot of singing and dancing Cathal had to go directly to the airport to catch his flight to Alice Springs while the rest of us finished it off with a dart tournament which myself ended up winning!
It must also be mentioned that I got a bull's eye!

Christmas Party with a Mexican twist

Delighted

And now we are back in Adelaide celebrating Christmas real Aussie style! More about that some other day...

The celebration of a very special boy!

On the Sunday before David's birthday, Therese was kind enough to bring us on a sightseeing trip around the coast of Sydney. Luke was the designated guide!

Feeding a Galah

With a Galah

We went to a lovely pub with the best view of the ocean and the cliffs and had a real pub-grub with a few beers! After the dinner Therese went to the ¨toilet¨ and came back with a very special surprise - - a cake, a hat and a badge for the soon to be birthday boy! Good times!

 

Now of course we promised Therese that David would wear the badge on his actual birthday too so we took some pictures to prove it to her:

In front of Town Hall

In the Rocks

And in front of the Delorian from Back to the Future

This is how much fun we had!

And now our journey in Sydney is almost over...We are packing our bags and heading south for we hear there is much to be desired down there. All will be known when we update this blog again.
Until then folks.
