Oooo my head. Actually I didn't feel that bad considering I drank the most I have drank in the last 10 weeks. I did pose the question why I prefer to drink too many Guinness on a Friday night - because it tastes good?! We got to bed early last night which meant we were awake by 7.30ish. Ju was plucked from her bed by Macie who insisted she read her a story from one of her many books. I was lucky enough to engage in my normal Sunday morning activity of catching up...

Following a considerably more rested night than the one previously we woke to glorious sunshine again - it is great here in Queensland that even if it's overcast or in the middle of the night it is always warm (shorts and strappy top warm); and even in the wind it's warm. And even the sea is warm - like a comfortable bath temperature! Beauty! I think based on that Queesnland is getting my vote as my favourite Australian state we've been to so far.After brekkie Sc...

Oh what a night. My wife demonstrated that you can sleep in a thousand positions in our tiny Spaceship van. One minute her head was level with mine, the next I was starring at her feet.

My darling wife enjoyed yesterday evenings cheese board and ended up eating far too much. This resulted in her having an active imagination which kept us awake until 2.30am at which point I suggested she go and sleep on the couch downstairs. Feeling tired and robbed of precious sleep we packed our bags - I had the feeling of deja vu again. We said our goodbyes to El at the airport. I was sad to go but at the same time excited about the next phase of our trip and ...
