Back home!

At 7am we finally arrived in Adelaide from Singapore, its great to be home again. Living out of a suitcase for 2 months was getting pretty annoying toward the end of the trip.

It will be great to see everyone again and tell a few stories over some pics.

I will upload all the photos today on Flikr so you can check them out.

Back in Athens after 4 day cruise of Greek Islands

This morning we just got back from a 4 day cruise of the Greek Islands. Santorini was definitely the highlight of them all with its picturesque blue domed churches and blue and white houses that sit atop the sea-filled ancient caldera that is at the heart of Santorini.

The cruise was good but the cruise liner was old but that did not matter as the sights were worth the trip.

This morning we did a 2 hour tour of Athens city center and saw the Acropolis.

We have 2 more days here then we depart for London on Monday morning, which starts our 3 day trek back to Australia via Singapore.

We will all be home soon to discuss our trip with you all.

We really cant wait to get home now, most fellow travellers are astounded we have been on holidays for over 5 weeks now, its really been a marathon holiday but we have seen so much.

Its been well worth the experience!

This was taken a few days ago as we did a coastal drive of Northern Ireland, it was a really great drive, excellent coastal scenery.

We stopped by to tour the Guinness Factory a few days ago but the weather was bad outside to take a photo, so I had one taken today as the weather has been excellent.

Chris, the Guinness does taste a little different over here, still nice but different, we definitely need to go to Shenanigans to have a few pints when we get back!
Today we drove in early to Dublin and visited Trinity College to see The Book of Kells. We also dropped by the Dublin shopping mall which was huge, we picked up a few Celtic T-Shirts and did some walking around town. There are thousands all out and shopping here.

I also stopped back at the Guinness Factory where I wanted my photo taken in front of it - Chris I know you would hassle me if I did not do it!

Tonight we are having a restful night ready for a very early departure tomorrow morning where we fly off to Greece via London stop over for 2 hours.

We will be home very soon and we are missing our home and great family and friends - we all will see you soon.

In Galway Ireland

Hello, we are now in Galway Ireland, sorry for the lack of posts but the last week of our 27 day tour was pretty hectic and finding time to find a net cafe was getting harder each day.

Dont worry as we have heaps of photos that I will take back and show you all!

We are off to Dublin tomorrow to stay there one night before we leave for our 6 day Greek Cruise. Then on to Singapore

I will see if I can upload some more photos maybe on the Cruise liner if it has Internet Access.

See you in just over 2 weeks!
