Melbourne

The last time we updated this blog we were heading towards Melbourne. That week the weather turned incredibly cold and nasty so we ended up driving back to Melbourne much quicker than planned.

Since then we have been cat-, and house-sitting at our friends place for a month and afterwards we spend 9 weeks in Europe. Mainly with our family but we also enjoyed an amazing two weeks of camping in France, with beautiful weather and delicious food.

The plan was to continue our road trip through Australia just a few days after arriving back in Melbourne but unfortunately a few problems occurred with the car (back lights weren't working and there seemed to be an electrical problem) so we had to hang around a bit longer.

Nevertheless we were ready to go today. After organizing and packing the last few things we headed off in the afternoon. It took us quite a while to get out of Melbourne. We had a short pit-stop and visited one of our dear friends on the way. It was when we drove off towards Bunnings to get some firewood, that we realized we had forgotten to bring our annex (tent). NOOOO!!!

So therefore we are now back at our friends place . Thankfully they offered us to stay another night as it was dark already. So here we are once more.

Hopefully from tomorrow on we can share our adventures on this blog again. The plan is to go towards Adelaide via The Grampians and Little Desert Park. From Adelaide and surroundings we are heading towards The Nullarbor Plane to Perth. From here we are going to explore the west coast all the way up to Broome. Sander has already seen a bit of this part of Australia during his year as a backpacker. I have not been to Western Australia before but heard many positive stories and therefore I can’t wait to go and see it for myself!

Meanwhile here is a little photo collage of our time in Europe. We loved every single minute of it and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our family...
