▪️Die Badezimmer im Mornington Gardens Holiday Village, waren frisch renoviert mit Regendusche und das für 39 AU$ :D

12 Stunden & ein liebloser Burger
January 11 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Die bevorzugte Überschrift wäre „Delfinschwimmen“ gewesen, aber das wollte von Anfang an nicht so sein. 🐬🔜

Der weibliche Teil unserer Reisegruppe (wir wollen keine Namen nennen) 😆🙈 hat bereits bei der Buchung den flaschen Ort gewählt und so stand uns eine 4-stündige Fahrt mit mehreren Öffis bevor ...
🚂 - 🚌 (Schienenersatzverkehr) - 🚂 - 🚖 (selbst org. Schienenersatzverkehr) - 🚌 (aufgrund eines Zwischenfalls 🤢 wurde dieser ausgetauscht) - Sprint zum 🛥 - 🛥 Verspätung ... 🙀
Nach mehrmaligem, kräftigem Durchatmen ging es dann, in einen Neoprenanzug gequetscht, endlich raus aufs Meer, soweit so gut...
Nach ca. einer Stunde vergeblicher Delfinsuche 🔎beschloss die Crew uns an eine Bucht zum Schnorcheln zu bringen. 🤿
Wir hätten dort viele Seedrachen erblicken sollen, bei dem „hätten“ ist es dann auch geblieben. 😒
In den darauffolgenden 2,5 Stunden sahen wir schon noch einige 🐬, aber zum Schwimmen mit ihnen hat es einfach nie gepasst.😔
Der kurze Besuch bei wohlriechenden Möwen und Seelöwen verkürzte uns die Fahrt zum Festland zwar etwas, aber dort stand uns ja noch die Rückreise nach Melbourne bevor. 🚎 - 🚂 - 🚎 (Schienenersatzverkehr) - 🚂 (also immerhin etwas schneller als die Hinfahrt)

Nach einem geschmacklosen Burger fielen wir dann endlich ins Bett und lachten einfach nur über diesen kuriosen Tag. 🍔🥴🤣🤣🤣
Aber nach 64 gelungenen Tagen, durfte das auch ruhig mal sein. 😉

Unser erster Nationalpark
February 5 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Der Point Nepean National Park liegt an der untersten Spitze Melbournes und hat uns einen tollen Blick über die gesamte Küste geboten. 😊

Es gibt noch viele Bunker und Tunnel, die bei der Verteidigung Australiens eine wichtige Rolle gespielt haben.

Die Aussicht ist einfach wunderschön! 😍Read more

Queenscliffe
February 14, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
We now know the reason why Max's mum booked us into this caravan park- they showed up early the first morning here and surprised us! We've spent the last 4 days with them ( the kids sleeping in their caravan so we've been having a mini break!) and we'll go our seperate ways tomorrow...
Max has had a few surfs at Bell's beach and we went into Torquay and collected Mav's schoolwork so we've been doing that too.
We're not 100% sure where we'll go tomorrow.Read more

How nice!! 😀 It's been soooo hot here the last few days/nights - it's still 27° now and I see you wearing jumpers 😲!! Harry has hand, foot and mouth - he has not been well at all but coming good today. Nothing like the boys had though thank goodness... other than that all is just the same here. Travel safe 😘😘😘😘

Back on the mainland!
February 10, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We were on our way to Devonport yesterday and saw there was space on the ferry last night so we ended up coming back over to the mainland and arrived in Melbourne this morning.
Juls called and said she'd surprise booked us into a caravan park (which she had to change as she didn't know we were coming over earlier) and we've just arrived in Queenscliffe and set up the van for 2 nights. ( a bit out of the way from where we wanted to get to but it was a lovely gesture so here we are). We're past Geelong and in the harbour so we can see boats coming and going. It's raining right now so we've put a movie on for the kids and are enjoying so peaceful instagram scrolling whilst we can.Read more

Great first day
November 22, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
First day of the festival did not disappoint.

Scored a great little semi secluded spot given how busy the campsite is with festival goers and got the tent up in super quick time, not bad for our fist attempt.

Once all set up and settled in we headed into the town to collect our tickets then popped into the Brewhouse for a craft beer in their sunny beer garden. Perfect timing we later discovered as on leaving the line for tickets stretched passed the pub and along the street 😳.

Through the night we moved between the tents to catch Mojo Juju, Tim Finn, The Delta Riggs, The Strides and dance away to DJ Vince Peach, who we happened to discover on chatting to him that he has spent considerable time in and around the areas we grow up in.Read more

We will be back
November 23, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Second day of the festival was just as good, if not better.

Lazy morning spent mooching around the town and market stopping to listen to a couple of sets at Circa 1902 before heading back for a relaxed lunch reminiscent of our Europe travels: bread, cheese, tomato and red wine from the Delatite Winery picked up on previous travels.

By its nature the festival had an eclectic mix of music styles and some were definitely not for us, others we loved, but there were enough venues inside or scattered around the town that we could always find something we liked and over the day got to hear Nathan Seeckts, Cooper Lower
Charlie Collins, Clare Bowditch, Remi
Dubarray (from his dancing this was def one of Johnnys favourites) Cat Empire and again danced away to the northern sole vibes of DJ Vince Peach.

Another great day. We will defiantly be back.Read more
