Oh that’s right, through all the busy-ness I have been going though of late me and Gem took some time off to have a holiday on the long weekend just passed. We stayed at the Oaks Seaforth at the Sunshine Coast and had a great break together and also celebrated our four year anniversary! And of course I took some happy snaps of our break as well.

We’re all home and safe now as our Road Trip has now ended (over 4000kms!). We drove from Sydney to Gem’s sister’s place at the Gold Coast via the Pacific Highway which was a pretty good drive. Certainly not as quick as I thought it would have been but it was more scenic then the inland route.

Well we are about to leave Sydney after having a great time there but was defiantly a little bit too short. We arrived on mid Friday afternoon after which I went out to dinner with two of our clients from Sydney who actually didn’t live all that far away from where we were staying so had dinner at a restaurant on the Corso in Manly.

We are now in Sydney after traveling from Melbourne to Canberra to Sydney. The drive went really quick with me and Gem splitting the driving but we did get to Canberra a bit later then expected after stopping in the morning at the Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne before heading off.

Well now our days in Melbourne have now ended. We leave Melbourne tomorrow morning to set off to Sydney and I must admit I think I will miss Melbourne as we had a great time there and I really fell in love with the city due to its design appeal of all the buildings and how great the transport infrastructure was.

We spent today shopping by starting off at the new DFO on Spencer street which had a few good stores but not many specials or anything much different to the usual.

Road Trip 07 - Day Eight

Another great day for us in Melbourne. We started off a bit late as we slept through our alarms till 11am (Melbourne time) because the room was so dark from the thick curtains (three pass blockout lining - thanks Gem!). We then walked down to the Melbourne Aquarium where we spent the majority of our day.

Road Trip 07 - Day Seven

We arrived in Melbourne on Day Seven of the trip after passing through the Great Ocean Drive which we would give a high recommondation to go on. Its a great drive as long as you don’t have any slow cars in front of you! We then passed through via Bells Beach (just had to visit there) and then through Geelong to arrive in our hotel, Oaks on Market.

Road Trip 07 - Day Six

We have now left Adelaide and are now in a motel in the regional city of Warrnambool. Warrnambool is just located at the start of the Great Ocean Road which we will set off on tommorrow morning so it was an ideal stop over location before we spend most of today on that road. Infact just tonight I found out some interesting facts on it such as its the world’s largest war memorial as it was built by the serviceman of World War I by just picks, shovels and dynamites in memory of their fallen comrades.

Road Trip 07 - Day Five

We have now left the lovely city of Adelaide after having a great time in there with relatives and friends of ours. The city has a lot of similarities to Toowoomba which a few of the people we know that were from Toowoomba originally commented on as well. They have problems with not many places being open on Sunday’s and just the general layout and traffic is very similar to Toowoomba.
