Aussie Trip (Part II)


This was just some random road between Adelaide and Robe, where we went on vacation....on our vacation. Bert and I took off a two days before the rest of the crew who were finishing up business at home.
I have no idea where this is but it was beautiful!


Bert and I went bush walking one of those days. We walked along this road, though sand dunes, and eventually made it to the ocean.



This was the house we stayed in. Awesome little spot with tons of room.
Waling on the beach when everyone arrived.
Bert and Tony looked like this for a good portion of the time...
The coffee shop we went to everyday was also a new and used book shop. Very very cute.



Bert and his Mum.
Bert's parent's pastor and his wife were able to join of for a couple days. Great fellowship here over a cup of tea....
The boys showing off their mad art skills...





Getting ready to give kite surfing a try....
This was out by Lake George. It was prefect for kite surfing. I played it safe and stayed by the car with the camera.
The guy didn't get hurt....
This loo was made from an old water tank....
Another little coffee shop...




I think Bert is ready for his coffee....


More from our walk ( I am having a hard time getting the pics in the right order!)


Hard to believe but there are still more.....

Down Under (Part I)

I am a bit of a slow coach here in getting pictures up or any post for that matter.....for months! But especially of our trip to Australia. We made it safely back from our four week trip a little over a week ago. It was great to spend time with Bert's family. We had enough time to be able to relax with each other, go on a holiday...on our holiday, go for walks, and do a little sight seeing. Thank you everyone for making our trip special!
My parents came to visit us just after Christmas (I should have posted about that too, we had a blast!:). This was a shot just as we headed out the door to the airport.
We were greeted upon arrival by a big furry Koala Bear aka Bert's Dad! I don't think anybody in the airport missed it!
This is beach just down from their house. It was summer when were were there. Mild warm weather. Almost everyone commented how easy were had it with the mild weather!
There is a beautiful board walk along the cliffs that leads down to the beach from Bert's parent's house. We went for walks quite often and this is one of my favorite spots.


Satisfying the inner boy....


Just some random back ally....


Bert and I head just down the road to Hallet Cove area for a little walk one afternoon. The rock formations are breathtaking.


At some abandoned house along the beach....


This is at the little conservation park just a couple blocks from their house. Bert and Tony went walking with their cameras one evening and came back with some great shots.




The Aussie sunsets are amazingly vibrant in color.


And more will follow.....
