We are off again. We have saddled up our backpacks and dusted off our hiking shoes for our slow journey to Spain. We are going via a visit with my brother in Brisbane and some exploring in Singapore, Langkawi, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.
Our journey started with a 4.45am Auckland check in on a cool wet windy morning. No in flight entertainment and very bumpy flight out if Auckland.
Landed in Brisbane to a gorgeous sunny day and a slap up lunch overlooking the harbour and islands, simply breathtaking, a great start to our adventure.
The natural bird life here is incredible, pelicans, cheeky parrots and ibis. We may see a koala tomorrow if we are lucky. It's a beautiful spot here and has a 'koala corridor' with natural reserves and lots of eucalyptus.
Our first day on the road ended with lots of chatter and drinkies at the local down the road followed by a lovely Thai meal.
The bar has been set high, a fantastic start to our adventures.
