Today was the first real “location” day for the trip. We started with breakfast in our cabins and then Danny had a wander around taking photos near our accommodation. First stop on the way to Dudley Wines was when we drove over a hill and couldn’t resist stopping to admire the view. I even grabbed […]

Our original itinerary had us visiting the “Island Pure Sheep Dairy” today but unfortunately we found out that it had recently (clearly VERY recently) closed! So, we took the time to have a look around the local area of Kingscote and do some shopping for basic food supplies (breakfast would be needed most mornings). We

Today we head to Kangaroo Island (KI). First stop – breakfast (another theme – food!). Espys Bakery at Christies Beach was the choice. Clearly the Queenslanders were feeling the cold but Danny & I found it quite pleasant. Next, the two caravans had to be connected up and we then headed out to Cape Jervis

Danny & I started our day by checking out of the hotel and heading to Rundle Mall to find somewhere for breakfast. We’ve been to Adelaide before (Tracey’s 50th) so we knew what to expect in Rundle Mall. You’ll notice a theme by the end of this trip – how often we gravitate to the

As usual, we started early and thanks to Naomi (who very kindly drove us to Parramatta train station) we arrived at Sydney Airport in plenty of time for our 1:30pm flight. Since it was SOOOO early (10:30am), we stopped for morning tea at the only café outside the security gates. The flight was uneventful and

And, we’re finished. We have two beautiful new bathrooms. The builders (iBuild) have been great – tidied up after themselves, the tradies were always polite and anything that went not-quite-right was fixed immediately. I can’t recommend them enough. The last pieces of the puzzle were: painting the back of the bathroom doors, painting & patching
After the hiccup with the leaky pipe, the plumber came in and found the source – yes, the apprentice had drilled through the pipe 🙂 – funny how it’s always the apprentice’s fault!! 🙂 . So by Monday evening we had a hole in the wall in Danny’s “office” and a slowly drying patch of
And we’re nearly there! Read More »
We left the bathrooms an extra day before we decided to use them. You know, longer for the sealant to set etc. Sunday morning, because we aren’t in our master bedroom yet (we’re getting a new bed), I decided I’d use the main bathroom shower. The results were less than spectacular and we’ve now got
So we’re almost done. The bath was put in the correct place and all the silicone sealing was done (even different coloured sealant for different areas). All that’s left are the last two shaving cabinet mirror doors and the towel rail that was missing from the main bathroom. We were given the go ahead to

Thursday saw the shower screens put in and the bath taken upstairs. The bathrooms were given a clean in preparation for the silicone sealing to be done on Friday. And, we get to walk on our carpets again – the floor protectors have been taken away now. It’s so nice to walk on carpet in
