Holidays – day 5

The first thing we did in Denmark was to go to a nearby Alpaca farm.  The kids had been couped up and needed to run around and to pet fluffy animals. Pentland Alpaca Farm was about 15 minutes from where we were staying and looked quite promising from the website.  I’d had a few recommendations from other people too, so it was pretty much…

Holidays – day 4

So, where were we? Ah yes, wine tasting and long days out. Well, the next day we had to drive to Denmark which is a pretty long way through mostly forest and on windy little roads.  Fun.  Especially with kids. Don’t get me wrong, its a beautiful forest, but it does go on.  And on.  And on. We kept on trucking for a few…

Holidays – day 3

It’s funny – it only takes a week or two and suddenly it’s hard to remember what order things happened in! Day 3 we got up early and went to see the Ngilgi Cave which was just round the corner from where we were staying.

Holidays – day 2

Due to various dietary needs and restrictions, we’d had to plan ahead a little with eating out.  We’d booked ourselves into Hay Shed Hill winery for breakfast and for a late lunch in Settlers Tavern in Margaret River and then planned out a sort of route between feeds to take in the must see sights.

Holidays – day 1

Firstly, many apologies for the slight absence of posts – I have been a number of things 1. sick 2. working like a bastard 3. on holiday All of the above have pretty much prevented any kind of activity, photography, red wine consumption and time and/or access to a computer. Anyway, you now have my undivided attention for a while 🙂

More travels

And before I was even over my travel fatigue from going to England, I had to go back to Brisbane.  Ok, I do get to fly business class, but it’s only a small consolation on a 4:30 hour flight – there’s still the stuck in the seat feeling that no matter what class of travel you can afford (perhaps a first class suite cabin…

Brisbane – Part 3

Another day hard at work deserves a little adventure when it’s all done, so I made a beeline for door and went for a long walk. This time, I turned left out of the office and over the Kurilpa pedestrian footbridge over the Brisbane River and down onto the Southbank. This might have been a tiny mistake, as I was in my suit and…

Brisbane – Part 2

Well well – thanks to being featured on WordPress ‘freshly pressed’, I’ve had about a billion views, comments, likes and subscriptions on this blog compared to the usual regular trickle.   So many new faces – thank you all for coming 🙂 I suppose you’re all expecting frequent new and exciting content aren’t you?  Hope I don’t disappoint! Anyhoo, after a busy day working, I…

two went on an adventure

It was one of those weekends coming up where the girls were round at their father’s, the weather looked ok and we were looking for things to do. Usually (as past posts have clearly shown), we’ll wander out for coffee and end up having either breakfast or lunch and then spend the rest of the weekend sleeping off all the calories. Well, not this…

In transit

Travelling always sounds so exotic, but the fact of the matter is that the actual travelling bit sucks. Blows goats, no less. First, you have to endure check-in.  The airlines and brochures present you with an idyllic view of check in, of smiley gorgeous women on the counter, handsome travellers all with $10,000 watches and smiles to match. or of wonderful machines that take…
