Finished off last evening catching the train out to Heidelberg where we stopped by the local chippy and got some fish and chips for Friday night dinner to have at Belinda’s place with her boys William and Alex. Oh god, it was as early as we predicted. Jet lag seems to not have hit us … More Melbourne to Kununurra – 20th October 2018

So remember all, we are now ahead of you but behind you time wise – let’s clarify that for you in more detail. We are the day ahead but behind in hours depending on your location….hope that helps?? Below is a photo of the front of Henty House which is an Art Deco building where … More Melbourne, Australia – 19th October 2018

This was the scene from our bedroom window, the day before we left. Very pretty although perhaps indicative of a long winter to come. Anyhow we won’t have to worry about it, this year. The beginning of a very long 14,000 kilometre trip involving two flights. First flight is Calgary to Los Angeles (the most … More Making our way from Calgary, Canada to Melbourne, Australia – 16th October 2018

Rest day today. After doing 4,000 kilometres in 16 days we are a little weary of driving. We anticipated that we would do about 2,000 kilometres in that period but we blew that out the water as well as the fuel budget. Oh well, can’t get it right every time. After a leisurely morning we … More Halifax – 8th October 2018

Oh our goodness us!!! We are both as full as pussy’s bow. Today the Thanksgiving meal was celebrated with a 16lb turkey….. …which Paige and Allan cooked perfectly with the most delicious cranberry sauce we have ever had. They made it from scratch and added in some sugar, lemon juice and orange zest – to … More Foodfest at the MacPherson/Marsh Household – 7th October 2018

Not a great deal to report on today. It was mostly just driving along the west coast of Cape Breton and then at Antigonish we took a direct southerly route to the east coast of Nova Scotia and onto Halifax. Once again then colours were out in full bloom and each day we are seeing … More Cheticamp and back to Halifax – 6th October 2018

WOOOW!!!!! What an amazing day. When we first planned this trip it was all about touring PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and making sure we did the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. We chose the dates because it was after the schools went back and before we headed off to Australia. We thought there might … More Baddeck to Cheticamp, Cabot Trail, Cape Breton – 5th October 2018

Weather was still very overcast but precipitation did not occur. The wind certainly made its presence known. We drove along part of the coast on our way to Louisbourg and the waves were pounding against the rocks. This picture does not do it justice. Imagine the wind roaring and only being able to stand at … More Louisbourg, Cape Breton – 4th October 2018

Our plans were thrown into chaos this morning thanks to the exceptionally crappy weather that we awoke to. Our original idea was to go to Louisbourg which involves a lot of outside walking so we did the big switcheroozie and drove to Sydney to the Miners Museum. We had heard that it was one of … More Sydney, Cape Breton – 3rd October 2018
