Adelaide and Kangaroo Island

Sun, 12 Apr 2015 | By meriadoc262 | Views [212]

Adelaide kind of reminds me of an East coast college town. The museum and art gallery are nice. I had a good time traipsing around in there, especially on a rainy day. I got to explore the downtown area near Rundle Mall. It's got quite a few shops and ... Read more >

We left at 9.30am after a little bit of a lie in (phew!) for our flight to Ushuaia. It was an hour long flight and was a little bit bumpy.  It was grey and rainy on our arrival. 

Passing Through

Fri, 10 Apr 2015 | By travelisgoodforthesoul | Views [246]

It was after midnight when we finally stopped to pitch camp on the beach. I know this because the clock in the rent-a-car hadn't changed time zones like we had yet, so when I announced it was 11, three people with phones told me otherwise. We had been ... Read more >

Well, it was a good thing I came into Melbourne during the comedy festival. I got to see quite a few free shows and have a few good laughs during my short stay here. I had a tour guide on my waterfalls tour that said that people tend to either prefer ... Read more >

Leaving Cairns :(

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 | By meriadoc262 | Views [239]

I apologize in advance that this may be a bit of a downer post. I have just left my home in Cairns for Melbourne. It's a bit of culture shock going from such a cute, quaint city to a large metropolis. The worst part was leaving my family of friends that ... Read more >
