Sydney Day 3
8 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We all had a lazy morning and a very leisurely walk around the botanical gardens followed by a late afternoon boat trip to see Manley. You catch a fast boat from circular quay which takes 18 minutes and is basically the commuter ferry. I imagine in the height of the summer it’s bustling little place which boasts the second best beach after Bondi in Sydney! Czytaj więcej

Today is David’s Birthday and he chose to go to Bondi Beach which we did on the open top bus. It was sunny today and very windy but glad we went....been there , done that and didn’t buy a tee shirt! 😊
We had an early tea and went to the Opera House in the evening to see Aida, it was an experience not to be missed but not sure that we are converts to Opera just yet 🤔 Czytaj więcej

Sydney
6 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Well we have an amazing view here in the Four Seasons on George street Sydney, we can see both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House from our windows...stunning!
We woke up the first morning and there was a massive cruise ship in the harbour from Valletta.
EK has a really bad chesty cough and isn’t able to walk far so we took the Big Bus tour of the city today. Kai and I walked part way across the harbour bridge to see the crazy people walking over the top of it then headed back to the hotel. We couldn’t decide what to eat in the evening so chose German food....we ended up in a beer Keller, it was absolutely awful but at least the service was quick 🤣 Czytaj więcej

Kuranda Scenic Rail and Skyrail
4 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Another amazing day! I have to say I enjoyed the train going up to Kuranda more than the skyrail coming down, much more relaxing 😅
Kuranda is a world heritage listed Rainforest and is the world’s oldest tropical rainforest according to the literature....so there you go! The train journey up was spectacular especially in the Gold Glass carriage, thank you for the recommendation Jayne and Hugh 👍🏻
We headed to the Koala Gardens, as this was something that we all wanted to do, where EK had a cuddle and a photo. We also saw Wallabies and Wombats Lizards and Crocs....ooh and the odd Python (these were in glass gages though)
After a spot of lunch we headed back through town to the skyrail terminal and took the scary cable car down to Cairns. Czytaj więcej

The Great Barrier Reef
3 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We spent the day on a Catamaran and sailed out to Michaelmas Cay where we went snorkelling. One of our party spent almost two hours at the bow (front) of the catamaran looking like Leo DeCaprio in Titanic ......
When we got to the cay three of us went snorkelling, which was really enjoyable, whilst someone else kissed the opportunity of seeing THE GREAT BARRIER REEF goodbye and swapped it for a casual swim 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
....anyway we went back to the Catamaran for lunch which was followed by a trip in a semi-submersible viewing the coral and wildlife including a turtle 😃
A truly amazing and memorable day 👍🏻 Czytaj więcej

Darwin City Tour
2 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We decided to spend the morning booking tours for the next two days then took a half day city tour in the afternoon. Eric the driver picked us up promptly and was particularly good, if not a little droll at times. We crammed in an awful lot.....and it gave us a real taste of the place.
•St Monica’s Cathedral
•Cairns Museum
•Flecker Botanic Garden
•Cairns lookout over the city
•Barron Gorge National Park •Andamooka. finally
•Palm Cove
We were in a mini bus with about 15 other people which meant that David had to be sociable and talk to strangers....after a slow start he got into his stride and the afternoon went relatively smoothly! There were many highlights but Acker Bilk music piped through the sound system on the way back was particularly good! Czytaj więcej

Crocodile Dundee
31 lipca 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We went to see the jumping Crocodiles today which was ok but I was honestly a little bit scared,especially when the woman in charge of our boat announced that we had no power steering only 15 mins into an hour long trip!!
The Crocs are attracted to the boats engines and come along side, the woman in charge of the “no power steering boat” entices them with a chunk of pork on the end of a stick and waits until they have jumped out of the water 3 times before giving them the meat!
We then had lunch at Adelaide river, which runs from Adelaide to Darwin, the girl serving us was from Riddlesden believe it or not 😀 We then visited the Adelaide River War Cemetery before heading back to Darwin. Czytaj więcej

Podróżnik ..and when did David go missing?!!😁

Podróżnik Think the no power steering was part of the act to get you scared ! I know you were scared though and shaking... x

Day in Darwin
30 lipca 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Well we are fans of Darwin. I could think of worst places to spend our 13th Wedding Anniversary!
We got up early to get EK a podiatry appointment to sort her corns out 👍🏻 and me a doctors appointment to sort my ear out 👍🏻 (my right ear has become really painful when flying....not good when we have 4 more flights to go) Once that was all sorted we had Japanese food for lunch and a lovely stroll round whilst David did his own thing! Then we all did the obligatory red bus tour which was enjoyed by all. The museum exhibition about Typhoon Tracy destroying Darwin in 1975 was particularly interesting, though the highlight was EK spotting three wild Wallabies....closer inspection of image 5 below.

Road and Plane trip to Darwin
29 lipca 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Not a lot to report other than a 4.5hr drive back to Alice Springs from Uluru, but, we did see 2 Camels on the way (it happened to be next to a Camel Farm but nevertheless we did see them roaming round😊 ) We also saw lots of road kill Hugh....about 3 Kangaroos or Wallabies, a Camel and a cow 😟
After lunch in Alice Springs and topping the car up with petrol we head to the airport about 10k from AS. Just one flight leaving today and that was to Darwin 👍🏻 Also we discovered today that you don’t have to dump your water at security if you are travelling within Australia only if travelling Internationally!

Helicopter Ride
28 lipca 2018, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We set our alarms to see the Luna eclipse at 4.40am this morning, so as a consequence we didn’t wake up until after breakfast had finished ! We booked a helicopter ride to Uluru & Kata Tjuta then went to meet the in laws.
Going to Darwin tomorrow where the temperature should be a bit more like home 32 degrees 😀 Czytaj więcej

Podróżnik Enjoy the helicopter ride! It’s cooling down at home and raining today 😊
