We're all together . . .

I must start this entry by telling you about the new additions to my travelling experience . . They have been around for a while but I keep forgetting to update you!

My four boys and my fellow couple . . Together we make the usual mishap of a family. There is the occasional bickering, the non-stop banter and in turn a hell of a lot of laughing! Some of my best experiences have involved them and like any family you wouldn’t change a single second.

One of these happened to be our time in Townsville . . what seemed to be the start of our bad luck . . Hmmm maybe it’s karma . . .

We headed over to magnetic island and our first afternoon there was fab, the boys played football, we all sat down for dinner and then spent the evening playing drinking games and finished it off by attending a full moon party.
However, the next day we all arose with a hangover and thought we would go and enjoy the island . . What we thought would be a short enjoyable walk turned into an hours hike uphill in the pouring rain! The beach turned out to be an unofficial nudist beach which pleased the boys no end yet it didn’t seem to make up for the fact that we were all shivering and soaked on a beach in Australia with it pouring of rain and an hours hike back ahead of us . . Not to forget we were all hanging!

We made up for it by drinking through the pain once we had arrived safely back to our resort . . Who’d have known travelling would make an alcoholic out of me eh!

After this trip the two couples parted way with our boys for a couple of weeks, planning to re-unite back in Brisbane.

We made our way down to Arlie Beach for Whitsunday’s . .

Let’s hope the weather holds out for us there . . .
