It’s been a
long time now, and I almost don’t know where to begin… We have traveled about
3000km since we left Pete’s Fish Farm, and we’re now in Albany, Western
Australia. After we left Penola and the fish farm we traveled through Adelaide
and spent the night at an over-night rest area before we went to Port Augusta.
We stayed there for a night, because that would be the last place before the
great outback we could buy new tiers for our car. JT have been stressing about
our tiers since we bought the car, and when we got the cherry picking job he
said that he would buy new tiers as soon as he got paid. We didn’t earn that much,
I guess we just got enough to pay for our stay at the fish farm, but when Pete
commented our worn down tiers when we were about to leave we knew that the time
had come. We got new tiers and started the very long drive towards Western
Australia. When we got to the other side of the border we drove 145,6km on
Australia’s longest straight road. The scenery looked completely the same all
the way that it was impossible to know where we were (there was signs to let us
know that we were going in the right direction, fortunately).
We got to
Albany yesterday, after spending five nights in the most beautiful place I have
ever seen. JT read about it in one of our travel books, and I’m so happy that
we went there. Cape Le Grand National Park is absolutely a place to visit if
you’re ever in the area (or even if you’re not in the area, it’s worth getting
to the area to visit it)! The beaches were AMAZING! The sand was whiter that
white and the water was so clear that you could be tempted to drink it and the color
were so vibrant blue that it took my breath away. If it weren’t for the lack of
drinking water I think we would still be there now. But the traveling continues…
it always does….
Today we have
washed our car (something we should have done a long time ago) and tomorrow we’re
going to a guy called Steve to repair a small crack in our windscreen. After
that we’ll follow the coast further west to a national park somewhere where we
can relax and enjoy life.
Because we
haven’t been online in a while I would like to congratulate my mother-in-law,
Margit, with her birthday on Monday, January 28th. We celebrated
your birthday on the most beautiful beach in the world. We love you!!! Hugs and
kisses from both of usJ
Live life and
love it.

After three months sleeping in our car we got a motel-room in Esperance (we stayed one night before we went to Cape Le Grand National Park). It was a big contrast to staying in a national park, where we paid $18 per night (2 people) paying $139 for one night in the motel.
