Madrid – on the way to South America
After a month in the UK to see family, stock up on Steve’s medication and for him to have the blood tests to confirm that his liver was tolerating said meds (it is thankfully), and attempt to plan/organise our next 3 month stint, it was time to resume our…
South Coast Australia – Part 4 – Wine and then home
Amazing Shiraz in the Barossa Valley, a luxury stay and some delicious wines in the Yarra Valley, Kangaroos in the wild and on our plate, and an unwanted ‘adventure’ to get home…

5 days was far too little time but we crammed a lot in – and even though we’d been before, on this visit we fell in love with Sydney…
East Coast Australia – Part 6 – Central New South Wales – The Hunter Valley and The Blue Mountains
Must do excursions from Sydney, yet neither of us did them when we (separately) visited Sydney in 2003. Now that wrong has been put right, and yes it was worth it!
