Time just passes
The last two weeks we’ve had such a bad luck regarding our journey to Western Australia and with the preparations. Every day there have been new delays which we begin to find exhausting, mostly because we are not directly responsible for these time-pushers.
Just too many things to count really and some of them are still pushing the time, like a bulldozer moving rocks ahead of it through a very long tunnel.
I am however very happy to have such wonderful friends. The above picture was actually taken more than a year ago in Brisbane when out walking with one of my best friends mARTin, whom I miss dearly and think of daily. Click here to read the blog post from last year.
It will probably take us one more day before we go on our long road trip, because of – you guessed it – unnecessary delays.
Enjoy the peaceful moments
Miss Lazy – also known as Ashley – is one of the stars we are gonna miss when we leave Point Cook. More updates tomorrow because after that we’re going to Western Australia. I have a grand plan which involves blog posts every day although I’m not going to be online. As I wrote, details in tomorrows blog post!
Love Ken
Having fun, eh?
These last few days I’ve been a bit cut off from the world outside of Point Cook. Lots of planning with our 3500 km trip that we had scheduled for today, though circumstances change and so does our planning. We needed two new tyres to our v-dub Herman the German, which haven’t been easy to find. That question was resolved today, when we meet with Nick in Melbourne.
An awesome guy with a real sense of humour, a beautiful wife and adorable kids. It was so nice seeing a VW-fanatic once again!
I’ve also been working on Herman, because there was this noise that came from the rear. Of course things happens just before you are about to start the journey. Well, rather now than later when we are on the Nullarbor Plain. Google that, and you’ll see what we’re up against. Desert is probably a mild word. In latin Nullabor means “no-trees” which might explain it a bit. Click here for our travel map.
The last weekend we catched up with Josh and Cassidy whom I photographed a few weeks ago. Look at this post. This weekend they had reinforcement by their brother Luke who is in this picture. We had so much fun and I took an insane amount of pictures considering we only met them for a few hours.
Well well, the pictures will end up here eventually. Depending on how curious you readers are. That was a summary of my last few days, but please tell me, how have you been?
Unknown road ahead of us
Today we did actually find some fruitpicking work in a small town called Manjimup in Western Australia, only 4500 km away. In about one week we’ll begin our journey but first we have to get some big water containers, two new tires and enjoy our last few days in Melbourne together with our lovely Jen.
More about this in a few days time! However, if you are interested to see the road we’re going, click here for Google maps. As you probably can see on the map, there is a pit stop in a town called Coober Pedy… It’s a special place where people live underground due to the constant heat in the desert. Interesting place to photograph? I would guess so!
Good night to you all and stay happy. Also thanks alot for reading my blog. I really appreciate it.
We can’t always be on top
We have all been there, at least once or twice. At that place where we might have cried, screamed or been upset and felt the river of despair and seen nothing but the unmoving mountain in front of us. Blocking our way. Taunting us. And what can we do about that?
There is really no other option than climbing it and make it to the top from where we can watch down in order to see the progress we’ve done. To see the rough edges we passed and the places where we put up shelter.
It’s important to remember that we can’t always be on top but I bloody am gonna try – and so should you.
