Well after a lot of research, paper work, stress and waiting, we finally have our passports back and Kim is now a resident! Glad that I put in the many hours of research, we now have the ability to travel Europe which is, of course, one of the reasons we are over here. It was so hard to hear all our friends off and travelling every other weekend or planning a trip at the last minute. Now we can finally join in! Read the rest of this entry »
Who goes to Scotland in Winter, you might ask? A couple of Aussies who have no passports and a week of holidays to use before December, that’s who! We made our way to Scotland by train for a week of climate conditioning, which ended up making London seem quite toasty 
Who would have thought that we would be spending a weekend away in five star accommodation only minutes away from the Queen’s residence, Windsor Castle? Not us, that’s for sure!
Since living here in London I have noticed that somethings that used to be weird about this place is starting to become “normal”. It is related to the fine black dust that you see on everything on the underground. It changes you… Read the rest of this entry »
Our first trip out of the UK since Ireland and boy were we excited! It was our last weekend without our passports for up to 6 months, so I was on a mission to find us some cheap train tickets anywhere outside the UK. And once I had them in my hot little hands, we were brimming with excitement! And not just ‘how cool’ excitement, ‘jump-up-n-down-n-squeal’ excitement! ‘Cause we were off to PARIS!
Ok, so to get cheap tickets, you have to travel at dodgy times, so we got up at 3.30am, left the house at 4.15am to be on the international train at 5.30am. As bad as that sounds, we completed our sleeping cycle in the 2hrs, 45mins it took to get to central Paris. How awesome it was to wake up in another country! We were amazed at the thought of it! Once again, sheer excitement overcame us!
Some of you might be wondering why we went all quiet for what seemed to be an eternity. The reason - no internet. Not only did we develop a strong and passionate hatred for British Telecom, but we realised exactly how much our very lives (as we now know it) depend on access to the web.
For our birthday weekend, we decided to do something different and challenging. We just didn’t think that would consist of an 18 mile walk. But walk we did in the Peaks district near Sheffield in England. We walked til we literally dropped, and then walked some more!
How many times have you sat on public transport after a long day at work and heard a whole life story of someone on their mobile phone? Are you sick to death of people talking SO loud on their mobile phones on the train? Yes? Then move to London. Because the most of their train system is underground, there is no mobile phone range… for the moment. It’s great!
Very cool. And I have grown quite an obsession with the furry fuzzy little things. The are just so cute that you wish they’d grow a little more (like they’re not big enough already) just so you can cuddle them and pat them
