Posted on 16/02/2014 by Greg

We were up around 7:30 this morning and took it very easy as we packed up ready for the move to Coffin Bay, 49km away. By a bit before 10am we were driving out of the CP and heading into town to go to the Sunday market we had seen advertised on the foreshore.  Continue reading →

14 February 2014 Port Lincoln

Happy Valentines Day to my beautiful wife. <3

We woke to an overcast day with a very slight drizzle of rain. The sort of day best spent in bed.

Needless to say we didn’t do too much in the morning, I kept checking the weather radar, and it looked like the rain would clear by early afternoon, meanwhile Deb was deep into her “paper”. (I still need a new descriptor for her digital newspaper, maybe a d-aper, or e-paper, or I need help here people! ?  🙂 ) Continue reading →

13 February 2014 Port Lincoln Eyre Peninsular SA

Posted on 13/02/2014 by Greg

Yes, another slow start, I think we are getting used to this holiday thing. 🙂

We woke to overcast skies, but no rain. I headed down to the jetty straight after breakfast, leaving Deb, still in bed, with her morning “paper” (Do you still call it a “Paper” if it’s an electronic version of the printed version read on an iPad??  mmm 1st World problems again! ) Continue reading →

12 February 2014 Tumby Bay to Port Lincoln (50km)

Posted on 12/02/2014 by Greg

We had another very leisurely morning, and were away from Tumby at 9:30am. With only 50km to Port Lincoln we were going to take it very easy so we didn’t get to the caravan park too early. 🙂

Just out of Tumby Bay we saw a sign pointing inland down a very long dusty dirt road, it was, “The Rose Garden” we were looking for yesterday!  Might visit there the next time we are over here! Lol Continue reading →

9 February 2014 Eyre Peninsular here we come

Fullarton to Port Germein 240km 3hr  drive

We got away from home a bit after 4:30pm after celebrating Ben’s 32nd  with a lunch down at Port Noarlunga Beach. (A very good way to start our holiday 🙂  )

We had originally planned to get away on Monday, but instead of leaving early on Monday to beat the peak hour traffic we decided to get away the day before, even if it was to only drive about 3 to 4 hrs, our aim was for a free camp site somewhere north of Port Pirie. Continue reading →

We landed in KL at 7:30am and got a car from the airport to our hotel. We were all checked-in and having breakfast by 10am, it was so good to have our room early. We both got several hours sleep on the plane over from Mumbai, much to our relief. Continue reading →

17 Nov 2013 Mumbai and Goodbye

Posted on 18/11/2013 by Greg
We were picked-up by Hemali at 9:30am and we took a drive along Marine Drive the main beach front street of Mumbai, she gave us the choice of going out to Haji Ali , the island mosque of Mumbai, or just looking at it from afar. We chose the later as it isn’t meant to be anything special close up and the view from the coast is impressive. It sits about 500m off shore taking up the entire area, and some, of an old rocky island. During very high tides during the monsoon it becomes cut-off from the mainland as the causeway out to it goes underwater. On average about 8000 people visit it per week, and judging by the stream of people walking out to it and coming back this number maybe increasing. Continue reading →

At 8am when were down at breakfast this morning it was absolutely chaotic.

We had a busy sort of day. a morning tour with A&K and then an afternoon tour with Hemali, a private guide Deb found on the net. Continue reading →

15 Nov 2013 Kerala to Mumbai

Posted on 16/11/2013 by Greg
Deb woke very early this morning, 3:30 I think, and I woke around 4:30, so it was a long day.
Eventually we got ourselves underway and were out on deck by about 6:45 ready for the day, and breakfast. We had breakfast looking out over the Backwaters, and watching locals canoe by us. It’s so peaceful out on the water. It rained fairly heavily overnight but neither of us knew anything about it. Continue reading →
