Today we are in Crab Bay, surrounded by forests, beautiful mountains and a peaceful inlet. For the morning activity, Ken decided on another bushwhack, while I chose the bushwhack light or as I came to call it, the Baby Bushwhack. The normal one was a excursion through the brush, and I just wasnt sure I wanted to thrash through the forest for that long.
Prior to landing with our skiff on the sho Read on...
With lots of fresh grated ginger, craisins and not nuts. Thats how I love it!! Super sunny day on the new Swiss Bistro outdoor patio!
Even during a pandemic I managed to enjoy my bday! The day before (which is always Valentines Day) fell on a Sunday so I arranged for an outdoor luncheon with 10 friends. The best restaurant in Baos, Swiss Bistro, had just in their new location -- the gardens of a Read on...
Before continuing on down to Florida, Mom and I headed downstairs for something we had been waiting for over a year for, an actual hot hotel breakfast served in a dining room. It wasnt quite the normal walk around serve yourself buffet experience, but it still was much There was a velvet rope between us and the buffet. You told the server what you wanted and then she loaded up your tray for you. L Read on...
We left the Lodge, said goodbye to the doggies, packed Sherri, and set off to our penultimate stop in Kilkenny, about an hour away.
Once we had found parking we attempted to find our lodgings, eventually asking in a caf at approximately the correct address. Luckily the caf owner was also our host, so we had somewhere to stay for the next 2 nights. The on this occasion isnt Airbnb and was booked b Read on...
The drive from Port Douglas to Palm Cove was one of the most spectacular drives I have ever undertaken, and would rival any road trip across Australia, and would even rival some of the great European roads we have travelled. Captain Cook Highway follows the edge of the Far North Queensland coast that looks out to the Great Barrier Reef. Fortunately, the day we travelled it was clear and sunny, and Read on...

Hello again! I know it has been a long time since putting up any posting on the blog. As we are currently pretty much packed and checking off our to do list before heading back to Tsamaya Monday, decided it was worthwhile checking in to see if I even remember how to put up a post with photos. Im actually glad I am trying it as the software I typically used to make the collages, stated there was an Read on...
With Christmas 2018 spent in Copenhagen, Christmas 2019 saw us in Melbourne while Christmas 2020 saw us Home Alone in Sydney!

For Christmas 2019 Kev and I drove from Sydney to Melbourne, a journey of 880kms which we took two days to do with an overnight stay in Albury. Once in Melbourne we hea Read on...
We had read about the sunrise on the red cliffs at Ardrossan being spectacular so we were up before the sun and off to the Ardrossan jetty to take photos. While waiting for the sun to rise we met a Golden Retriever puppy named Gus and chatted to the locals fishing for squid and blue swimmer crabs. At 7.10am the sun rose behind a bank of clouds so we had to wait a little longer before the sun rose Read on...
The journey back over the long and winding road from Theth to the main SH1 highway on Saturday morning was to the drive over on Wednesday. Maybe it was the time of day, who knows.
However, the main highway was as if everyone and their dog had bought their car out for a drive. We had extended sections of driving at barely 40 or 50 km per hour for most of the journey back towards Tirana. You can al Read on...
