Leaving on a Jetplane...

It's school holidays - and I do know when I'll be back again. 

Early (VERY early) on Tuesday morning, I will drive for almost two hours to Auckland airport.


Then it's off to Adelaide for 5 days to see my daughter, my son-in-law and best of all,  my two grandchildren. I can't wait! It's only 3 months since they were here, but at age 2 and 4 they change so quickly. And I've never been to Adelaide before.

Then I'm going to have 5 days on my own in Melbourne, which will be wonderful. Melbourne is my favourite Australian city and I have so many things I want to do there. Mmm Melbourne: great shopping; interesting buildings, both old and new; every sort of cuisine you can think of, and then some; galleries, gardens, and the sea...

This has been a very long, hard term, and I need a rest. 
See you soon!

  1. Careful!

    I understand that Australia is full of people named Bruce who drink beer all the time.

    (Yes, I learned everything I know from Monty Python ;-)

  2. Have fun - and post up some photos!

    Adelaide - eat a peppery pastie, drink a Farmer's Union Iced Coffee and wolf down a custard tart.

    Melbourne - Yum Cha.

  3. Last time I was in Melbourne I caught a train to the Dandenongs and spent a day wandering along the bush trails.

    1. That sounds great, SmutC - but I ran out of time to do everything I wanted! I'll put it on the list for next time.

    1. It's my favourite Aussie city Lee - but I must admit I've only spent time in a few :)
