Goodbye Melbourne… hello New York
Our last Sunday in Melbourne was spent with mum and dad at friends of ours, Sofie and Michael’s place. They put on an unbelievable BBQ for us and we had a ball with them all afternoon just chatting away. Beautiful fresh food and taking it easy before the big flight home. When we got home…
Canberra
We had a huge couple of days in Canberra.. here goes! I am probably the biggest fan of Heinz Tinned Spaghetti ever. I was so excited to see that our Canberra hotel had it on the menu for breakfast. Hooray! So this was a breakfast on the first morning – We then headed to Cockington…
Parkes – Canberra
So I decided it is high time I wrap up our September/October trip to Australia before I do any other blog posts…! We left off last time in Parkes, where we went out to see the CSIRO Dish. We settled in for a big sleep in the dodgy hotel room that came free with mouse…
Chicago and the Lake Shore Limited
Getting off the train in Chicago was exciting – we had a day to spend doing whatever we wanted! It was really cold and early Sunday morning. So we had booked a zipcar and thought we’d just drive around Chicago. We see ‘city’ every day so we relished at the chance to see some suburbia!…
Our Great Amtrak Adventure

New Orleans – Day 3
We had another early start – here are our brekky shots – For this day, we were booked to visit the St Louis Cemetery for the Save Our Cemeteries tour. I will leave it up to you to do some reading on the cemeteries for New Orleans but a walking tour of them isn’t as…
New Orleans – Day 2
We woke up early on Day 2 and had our delicious room service breakfast. One of the best meals ever invented is cheese grits. I could live on them. Here is our room service brekky – We got out of the hotel and ready for a long walk through New Orleans. We had no definitely…
Arriving in New Orleans
I know that I haven’t even finished documenting our trip to Australia but I wanted to tell you all about our trip to New Orleans! In early January we made our first visit to New Orleans and our first super-long-distance Amtrak trip. This little voyage was an absolute adventure and now when we look back,…
Albury – Parkes
It was an early start on the Tuesday as we had another day of driving – this time to Parkes. Our hotel in Albury was the Hume Country Motor Inn. It was one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in and with the brick walls it felt like so many other Australian country…
