We had a rocky start when we arrived in Sydney! Firstly we got the wrong bus from the airport, then got on a train that wasn't going to move for at least an hour because of train strikes, then the first couple of days were extremely windy and rainy and we'd come down with some kinda lurgy from the plane alongside the jet lag. Initially I struggled to warm to the city, and therefore the country. I definitely said to Matt, at least once, 'have we made the right decision?' The sun arrived though, in spectacular Aussie summer style, and we began to fall for the city. We headed out to view some campervans, we needed a home for the next few months. We visited a dealer and then viewed a private sale, the latter being exactly what we wanted. However, it wasn't available until the 28th Jan but hands were shook and we had a another week to enjoy Sydney. I can't go through everything we've been up to so I'll mention the highlights, I really should have done a blo...
We've been living the ultimate beach life in Split and it's been wonderful. Our airbnb let us check-in early which was brilliant as our ferry arrived in Split at 7am, and our original check in was 3pm, but by 11am we were throwing our bags down in the apartment. After a bit of a chill, we headed through the old town and up into Park Marjan which gives lovely views over Split and has lots of little stone buildings dotted around. We also saw plenty of Butterflies, such as the Old World Swallowtail and the Tree Grayling which even let me get a picture! Our walk took us up to Telegrin Peak, for the views, but our destination was Kaลกjuni beach. Its a bit of a walk from the city, but because of the that the beach is cleaner and supposedly less busy (unless you turn up late in the day in a super sunny July). However, the water is just so clear and a delight to swim in, much needed after our walk. We stayed late into the evening, getting the bus back to town. Our next day sent us explo...
We had a chill morning about an hour away from Adelaide looking into how we wanted to spend our time in the city, before heading into the Adelaide Hills and up to Mount Lofty which looks down over the city. We didn't want to get into the city too late as we needed to scout out our sleeping options. We found a spot just to the west of the city where we could park and sleep overnight but would have to move the van in the day. We walked into the centre as we had a bit of shopping to do and then back to the van for the night. We headed out to Henley beach for a morning swim first thing, the water was lovely and still, it was a great beginning to the day, after our dip we ate our overnight oats on the beach. We got back into Adelaide and manged to park on the west side of the city, perfect for the Botanic Garden. They currently have a exhibition of glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly. They're beautiful amongst all the plants. We spent a while in the gardens, enjoying the sunshine, the...
