This was just a day of relaxing, pure and simple..... Oh and I opened a new carton of beer! LE VIN - STORY 3 This is another French holiday story. I must have been about fourteen when on a holiday we went on a tour around a vineyard. I wasn't looking forward to it much and being a moody teenager I think I was being all sultry and sullen. Anyhow I tagged along with my mum and dad. I remember there being a lot of brick cellars and an awful lot of bottles st...

I had booked the ferry off Kangaroo Island today. As it is the peak holiday period in Australia now everywhere is very busy and I have more choice of camp sites on the mainland. December/January over here is like July/August in the UK when it is the big school holiday break. I had breakfast and said goodbye to the cool duck guys who stopped by. I left the camp site at 9 as I had the ferry to catch at 11.30. It was about 150 kilometres to the ferry terminal at Pen...

I have quite a few days now with time on my hands before Jay arrives in Adelaide on January 9th. I am just going to spend the time relaxing, reading and listening to music and that's what I did today. The journey onward and around Australia properly begins again when Jay is here. I have only covered about one quarter of this wonderful country so there is still an awful lot to discover and experience In the meantime I am going to tell you a little story every day....

After breakfast I went back to Flinders Range National Park for a walk. I did the 9km Rocky River hike w...

It's Christmas Eve. I thought I'd get go and see the Flinders Chase National Park today. It is right at the very western tip of Kangaroo Island and is very beautiful. It was only about 20 kilometres away so it didn't take long to get there. I drove to Weir Cove first and parked the camper there. I could have a nice long walk from here. After doing nothing at all yesterday I needed to stretch my legs. The walk took me along the coast to the lighthouse and onto Adm...
