Australian expedition continues...

I'm really quite behind on where I was planning to be by now with the updatings and photos, but I find I've got a tons to do and just don't have the time really. Hence the lack of photos in that last post, and probably this one... Melbourne was awesome, was so good to catch up with peeps I haven't seen in so long. In true holiday fashion, on more than one occasion I stuffed myself silly with Tui and Alisha, and also made Tui watch Attack the Block with me hah hah harrrr.

I got to catch up with Kate too! And her bub! So cute! And I'm glad her lil bub did seem to like me, we decided she knew me and Alisha were nannies and therefore trusty enough to let us hold her and do funny smoochy things.

Then it was time to go to Launceston for the next big adventure...I'm an hour early, hungover, planes delayed an hour, could have been sleeping...oh well. EMMA! HEY! We are heading straight to tthe hens night from the airport so I'm getting changed in the car, hilarious, and then meeting everyone and all the bridesmaids and oh how exciting I've been waiting for this for aaaages. Emmas mum has arranged a stripper, most awkward moment of my life, and it's all very funny as he's doing his thing...Em does have to have a shot of vodka from his undies, lick cream off his tummy, and bite a chocolate out of his mouth, then some hilarious photos of everyone crowding to get a piece. Oh dear.

We go home relatively early and decide to ring Greer, poor gal, having me and Emma wastedly blabbing on about everything, with probably one too many 'wish you were heres' and 'its so sad your not comings'
I still can't help thinking she's gunna do a classic Greer and be sitting in the crowd with a huge cheeser on her face, waiting for someone to notice she's there...wishful thinking huh. It was good anyway.

There's been lots of organising and running around, it's making this holiday go far too fast.

I have a pom pom making station I should be folding at right now, theres going to be a fair few of them when I'm done! Man I CAN'T WAIT for Saturday. It's going to be THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER! It's insane how good looking the whole shebango will be, it should be featured in some sort of magazine. Yep.

Sweet well, hopefully I can get photos going soon, cos who wants big boring novels of text right?!? No pictures! Close window.

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

We booked this place a 20 mins drive from Levanto which is on the coast and close to Cinque Terre. The temperature in the mountains is juuuuust that little bit more bearable wth motorbike gear on hahah. Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'. I'd seen a picture of one of them on a bus, we thought we would go to Pisa, Florence and Riomaggiore for the week, and so I googled, 'how to say Cinque Terre'. Keep in mind this is a place in ...
