An update...


It has been a while since we updated this blog (we are not the best bloggers), so here we go...Sofia started a new challenge  last Monday 14/05 as a training coordinator at  Dredging International (DEME) until 30th of September. This results in a small change in the planning of traveling around Australia. We will travel around Australia from 1/10 until 24/12 in which we land in New Zealand on Christmas day. Before Sofia started we took 2 weeks off and travelled around the South of West Australia.This was the first real test for our Nissan Pathfinder and so far so good, we've made it back without any problems! We didn't have much breaks left, but when driving through Australia,  you don't really need them a lot :). The south-west of Australia is very popular with Australians, and we understand why; it's green, stays "cool" (=30 degrees) in summer, and the scenery is fantastic with old forests and giant trees, australias most beautiful coastline and when you get thirsty you stop by a winery or beer brewery.Because pictures say more then enough...
