Oz Part III - Melbourne - Adelaide - Brisbane


Finally, the weekend. Been travelling like mad. From Brisbane to Melbourne to Adelaide and back to Brisbane in two days. I am staying at Eelco and Ebba's for the weekend, which is really relaxed. Enjoying a beer or three, having a barbecue with the family. Here are some photos.


Adelaide - city of churches.

Oz Part II - Brisbane - Melbourne

G'day, how are you going?
In the meantime, uncle Roger has travelled from Brisbane to Melbourne to Adelaide. I can define my experience in four simple statements.

- I have never been this far south in my life!
- I grow an Ozzy accent already! Good on you mate!
- I've met more Ministers in three days than in my entire life!
- My tie looks great, they think I have a 5000 dollar suit!

And now the photos: starting in Brisbane ending in Melbourne.

Gerard Eckdom!! Oh I mean, Neil Diamond.


Melbourne: old European Style mixed with skyscapers.

Oz part 1 - Brisbane

Well, I am in a terrible state of jetlag, so nothing much to say really. Feels like I am in Barcelona or some European city, while I'm at the other part of the world. First photos are nothing more than some pictures of my hotel room. Ehm hotel room... sorry I meant apartment villa, having two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kithchen, dishwasher, laundrywasher, dryer, balcony terrace, etc. More to follow of course!


My short sleep in Singapore was in the Airport Hotel. Literally, as you can see fro the window view.

There is some serious flooding going on over here. For some a a curse, for some a blessing. This is what I picked up from the newspaper
