Yeah, I bitch a lot, I find it strangely relaxing to get moaning out of my system here, so that my wife and those around me can experience the 100% pure love that is me. But don't get me wrong, I'm loving our time in Australia, and some things make ... Read more >

We finally hit the road - destination Melbourne, via the wiggly ocean route. With the wind in our hair (the windows need to be open as the air-con doesn't work) and Led Zep on the radio we roared out of Sydney. Well, kinda. First we tried to register ... Read more >

I hate to drag everybody away from James' flights of fancy, entertaining as they may be, but I thought I would take opportunity to bore folks with, you know, touristy stuff. We arrived in Sydney on a gloriously sunny but not too hot day on March 1, ... Read more >

My wife loves animals. And they tend to love her. Met a couple of dogs over here, they couldn't get enough of her. One rabbit - bought her drinks, took her out to see a show. Love her they do. So, on a beautiful Saturday morning in a leafy glade, ... Read more >

Finally, some quality time to update the journal. Perhaps you were thinking that the flight from Johannesburg to Sydney would be straightforward. Ahhahahahaha etc., you puny mortals. Come closer, and I will tell you tales of inferior catering and legroom ... Read more >

Seems strange to just stumble across friends from the UK over here, but that's just what we've done. I went to university with Rob in Essex, and through a bizarre twist of fate, we both find ourselves in Sydney at the same time. We wouldn't have known ... Read more >

Okay, okay, everyone's fine, no deadly animals attacks at all. Just thought I'd wake you up with an interesting title before I plow through our lack of activity for the last two weeks. Maybe I should be in advertising? So, nearly two weeks have passed ... Read more >

Yes, two journal entries before we've even left Britain. Well, okay, one from just after the flight arrived in South Africa. Well, I've had fish and chips as well, but now you're just nitpicking. The checking-in process starts with us checking-in, ... Read more >

We've finished the packing! Well, almost. There's a few last minute things that always keep popping up but the bulk of it is done. I've had loads of fun playing with the vacuum air bags, probably a little too much fun and not enough packing actually.... Read more >
