What a year! 2007 started like any other year, but ended up being quite eventful. In January, Daniel and I celebrated our first year together by spending a day on and around Sydney harbour enjoying the sights and ending the day star gazing at the Observatory. It was a relaxing and wonderful way to celebrate […]

After taking the Monday off to catch up on some much needed sleep and to recover from jet-lag it was back to work at CQU. This state of ‘normalcy’ did not last long as CQU announced on the Wednesday that they were combining their two campuses in Sydney thus causing redundancies. Client Services wasn’t affected […]

It’s been so long since I’ve updated you all on what’s been happening since Poland. The final couple of days of my European holiday was spent catching up with Dave & Heidi in the UK. I was so glad to be back in a country where English as spoken. I left Aunty Janice in Poland […]

Sunday 19th August After waking at an unearthly hour of 5:30am, Janice started her day by opening birthday cards from family. She then went back to sleep until 6:30am (much to the relief of her tired room mate!) Morning tea in bed at 6:30am and then off for a morning walk. A wonderful way to […]

Wednesday 15th – Sunday 19th August Early Wednesday morning (at approx. 2:00am) we arrived at Katowice airport to be welcomed by some dedicated people who were to take us to our accommodation 1.5 hours away. Janice had slept a bit on the plane and so was keen to continue her restful state by lying down […]

Monday 13th August Now in Athens exploring more ancient ruins. We caught public transport into Monistiraki and then walked up to Mars Hill. The climb up to the top of the hill was quite slippery and no guard rails so we were very careful once on top. We then continued our sight seeing by walking […]

Saturday 11th August Today we say farewell to Turkey and head on towards Greece. We’ve made it to Greece and Priscilla is very happy to have another stamp in her passport and Jan is very thankful to still have two clear pages left! Travelling by ferry we ventured on towards the Island of Samos. I […]

Friday 10th August Friday was our girl’s day out when with Ros we caught a bus from Izmir to Kusadasi and booked into a hotel with a pool! While two rested Jan swam. Kusadasi is a tourist town full of Brits in full holiday mode and shops eager to lure them all in. WE focussed […]
