On the Road Again...

Well now we are back to the backpackers life, and it seems like ages since we were living out of a rucksacks, and sharing a kitchen with dozens of other backpackers making beans on toast and pasta. It is even stange to spend time with people we do not know, as for 6 weeks we have been spoilt by being surrounded by friends and family.

Having the Girls over has been great. We spent most of the time eating, drinking and laughing, with a fair bit of sight seeing inbetween.

Whilst Si and Clare H were at Sydney, we went to the Grampians, as I had missed going with Si. It was amazing!!! We stayed at a hostel which was fantastic. It's run by Tim and Pudding (Pudding is a dog, but he does claim ownership!) Everything at the hostel was free, including bike hire, which we took full advantage of. To those of you who know me, you will guess the next part of the story... Yes. I fell arse over tit off the bike, and landed at the bottom of the bank I was trying to cycle up. The irony that the two trained nurses (Joey and Sandiman) did not rush to my aid, but found the whole thing highly amusing. 2 weeks latter my legs still look like I have been kick boxing with a donkey!

As Si has told you, we went to the neighbours trivia night, but he missed the out the most important part of the story. When I met Dr. K, he actually recognised me from our day trip to neighbours. A very VERY poor claim to fame, but I was really impressed, and admittedly felt a little special.

The scary thing is that we are now 6 months into our travelling, an unavoidable half way through. Admittedly it does seem a while since we were home, but the thought that we will be back there in the same time again is crazy.

I promise I will post some of my photos soon. It just might take a few days.
