Hi all, just for anyone who was part of what we had - a little update. We have not posted much at all since leaving Hawkes Bay, with mixed emotions it took a while to adjust and to come to terms with the new reality.
Sooo
This weekend ends the first league of our journey. 5 months in Australia, we have been to (Jody has worked in) Gladstone, Qld, Orange and Dubbo, NSW, Sunshine Coast, Qld, to here in Busselton WA. We have seen many placea in between. We now leave tomorrow for Perth before heading on our next journey on Monday morning.
Our second part takes us for a much needed break/conference to Singapore and Bali, before a quick stint back in Perth for a locum before the biggest Journey. Europe.
This will see us fly to London 🇬🇧 where we have three house sit Jobs over 6 weeks starting in Petersfield and we think Jody may have work in Surrey. He also turns the Big 50 in August so will see him at an English Pub enjoying a pint or two! Then we hit our flight to Amsterdam to begin our amazing River Cruise through 5 countries to Budapest where we will be for my Not quite 50 birthday.
We then fly to Florance 🇮🇹 driving staying in Sienna, montpelier and Luca, lbefore training through Switzerland stopping at St Moritz, Zurich, Basal and ending in Geneva. Our France 🇫🇷 league sees us start in Annecy before training to Lyon to collect our car to drive north through the Chardonnay region over to Bordeaux and down to Bziers and Montpelier heading to Paris 🗼
We then had a gap for three weeks so instead of going back to the UK we have tagged on Norway 🇳🇴 Yup it will be cold 🥶 and dark a lot but a once off opportunity and what better time to see The northern lights. We will fly to Oslo, train to Bergen and back, do the Tromso to Trondheim cruise before flying over to Ireland 🇮🇪 where we have a house sit over Christmas New Year looking after Aussie the Chocolate Lab.
We are looking forward to enjoying this festiv time🍀 in another new Country along with pints of guiness i am sure and the odd Kilkenny.
So there you have it. We miss our kids dearly, friends, clients and our old village but we are doing it, as so many encouraged and enjoying some quality time together.
So there you have it our wee update.
Ro and Jody
