On the Road

RIMG0227

So we made it to the outback of New South Wales. For the last three days we’ve been travelling a lot in our beautiful hired car. Today we finally arrived in Mildura for a day’s rest on Friday. On Saturday we travel on to Melbourne.

Yesterday we were so tired after all this travelling that we went to sleep at 8 pm and woke up again at 4 am. It was of course still very dark outside. But a lot of lights were on. This is why Peter could take the above picture.

And this is what it looked like in day-light.

Diary, July 2012


A few weeks ago I gave up walking with Irene.  I just couldn’t walk as fast as she any more. I felt I was holding her back. In the meantime Peter offered to walk with me at my own pace. We’ve done this now a few times in the morning soon after breakfast. This morning we were lucky: The sun came out. We saw everything in this wonderful light. Peter took the above  pictures this morning. They show parts of our walk. Later on he snatched a photo of me catching some sun at the front of out house. Since our place is at the back of the complex we feel pretty private sitting in front of the house. In winter we often have our morning tea there to catch the beautiful warm sunshine. Here in Australia we’re still in the midst of winter!
