Our lives and travels
We landed in Amsterdam at 7:30pm local time. We’re now 8 hours behind Australia. Before leaving the plane we immediately put on our jumpers, knowing it would be pretty cold. That did not prepare us well for the actual cold that was about to hit us. We got off the plane and made our way … Continue reading Amsterdam – Biggest day ever!
In the morning we decided we would extend the ATV hire for another day, so that we could drive South to Akrotiri and the lighthouse at the southern end of Thira. We lounged around for a while in our hotel room, recovering from the big day yesterday. We made our way to the market around … Continue reading Greece – Sights, Seafood, and Sunsets
Last night we planned to have dinner on the edge of Fira and watch the sunset. Unfortunately Chantal wasn't feeling too well and we decided to grab a Gyro and head back to the hotel. Gyro's are what we call in Australia Souvlakis. After a great night's rest and finally feeling like we'd beaten our … Continue reading Greece Day Four – Sea Salt and Springs
The following is a quick summary of what we've found in Greece: Google Maps allows you to save locations offline onto your phone. This is a godsend when you’re out and about with no idea where you are and with no internet connection available. You can load the maps, use the GPS, and even search … Continue reading A recap of what we’ve learnt in Greece
We woke up at midnight on 22 April and realised that we missed dinner. We’d planned to have dinner and drinks at the top of our hotel while looking onto the Acropolis. It’s meant to be quite beautiful at night and for my birthday it seemed like quite a nice way to spend the night. … Continue reading Greece Day Two – The Ferry and Food
The day began at 3am in the morning, which is not how I usually like to start my day. Chantal and I were clearly seeing the effects of jetlag. This was the start of my birthday but we weren’t technically able to do anything at this hour. We decided to read through the first few … Continue reading Greece Day One – The Acropolis and Cats
Well now it was Chris's turn to be sick. Chantal was much better today and was only feeling mildly down however Chris had stomach cramps and waves of pain throughout the day. We started the day by packing up our belongings to leave tonight and then making our way to breakfast at the hotel as … Continue reading Bali Day Seven – Final Leg of the Race
Chantal was considerably sick late in the night and slept for most of the day. Unfortunately we had to cancel the bike ride across Bali. We were both upset that we had to cancel it but there's little we could do. Chantal slept for most of the day while Chris stayed in the hotel and … Continue reading Bali Day Six – Sickness Continued
We started the day with Chantal being sick. That's not the best way to start the day but who gets a choice? After ruling out "Bali belly" we thought that it might be from bad sleep and consuming milk (Chantal is lactose intolerant). We'd planned for Olivia, Chantal and Chris to go to the Bali … Continue reading Bali Day Five – Safari & Sickness
