Leaving the warmest May in NZ ever and arriving into the coldest May in Australia... bit of a shock to the system! Sydney however was first stop, and was still nice 'n warm - just how we remembered!! Had a great time revisiting old haunts and saying g'day to old friends (thanks for having us Charnoiette!)... then onto Melbourne which really was freezing for a mini Bags family reunion. Luvly. Few days mincing around the city, and trying to thaw out before heading on to Perth - luckily (or not so luckily) just before Tiger Airways got temporarily shut down for 'safety issues' (ARGH).
We loved Perth - beautiful beaches, cool CBD, Freo (and Little Creatures brewery), and SUNSHINE! To be returned to.....Next stop Singapore, which was a lovely relief beer price wise! We enjoyed a couple of days mooching around before a quick trip back to the UK....sorry for our carbon footprints! Had a great (brief) time back home before packing our bags once again and hitting the road, a quick stopover in Colombo - amazing food, beer and pool and catch up with friends then onto 2 weeks in Bali. Phew. Time to chill out! Bali = lots of snorkelling, beach sitting, bit of hiking, lots of Bintang and even more food. Man, that Indonesian food is good!! Our aussie visas miraculously got finally issued the day we were due to fly on - talk about good timing!
Final destination for a while - Perth once again.... our new home for the next little while :) Looking forward to it!
