Monique and Justin's Travels

Sydney is not the Outback.  It’s not the bush.  It’s a big city with a ton of suburbs.  It’s urban.  And yet in the front lawn of almost every home here, there’s a HUGE spider who has taken up permanent residence.  These are the types of things that would send the average European running in the other direction.  The locals just don’t even notice them.

“They won’t harm you,” they say.  ”They eat the mosquitos,” they say.  You know… a Daddy Long Legs can eat the mosquitos.  These things might well eat cats.

Wir sind in Australien angekommen! Wir haben Bangkok gerade noch rechtzeitig, bevor die Demonstrationen außer Kontrolle geraten sind, verlassen. 

Wir sind bei einem Famlienfreund von Justin einquartiert und werden uns die nächsten Tage auf die Suche nach einem geeigneten Vehicle für unseren Trip um und durch Australien machen.  -mk

We’re in Australia!  We certainly chose the right time to leave Bangkok.  As we were on the way to the airport the army was rolling in.  Then we find out when we got here that they put the kibosh on the Red Shirts and their demonstrations.  That’s too bad because the Red Shirts are right.  But that’s neither here nor there.

We’re quartered with friends of the family and now we’ll start the search for a vehicle to cart us around Australia!
