Humpty Doo (2)

Nicely tucked away in the bush, we are very comfortable here.
Using the time when Chris and Annie are to work to do some home and garden jobs for them, going shopping if we need or want, visit a club, or just be lazy.
We did our preparations for travelling back to Europe : all tickets confirmed, seat reservations done, transit-hotelroom at Singapore airport booked for 6 hours (because we have to wait there 9 hours). We will fly Malaysian Airlines this time from Singapore to Amsterdam, curious how we
will like that.
In the meantime: the kids (Annie and Christopher) are busy making everything look very nice bacause Annie's parents will arrive next thursday (they live in England). Will be a busy time for them all.
Last weekend the firies (fire brigade) burned down the bush and grass right next to our block in order to prevent an uncontrolled bushfire (see the photobooks for a few pictures). That was quite spectacular. Fire hazard is very high at the moment, so care has to be taken.
Not really more to be told at the moment...see ya soon folks

Humpty Doo

At last, back online on the Net after almost two weeks. We had a defect in our mobile internet-thingy and had quite some troubles in getting it replaced. We first got the wrong one send out to us, but after many phonecalls, at last this morning we got the right replacement. We are back online.
We moved to Christopher and Annies place in Humpty Doo, about 30 km out of Darwin. Great time, great place to stay, great people !
At the moment I am in a club in Palmerston (between HD and Darwin) waiting for Pam to get back from the hairdresser. I am using the time to type this and promise to update the blog a little more serious this weekend ! see you soon folks ( In three weeks from now we will travel )

Buzz' Cafe

A very nice lunch day at the Wharf in Darwin. Many stalls serving superb asian food in a great atmosphere on the pier, overlooking the sunny bay.
It's Kim and Terry's last day in Darwin; tomorrow they will take off and travel west towards Western Australia, home again in October, finishing their 2 year trip around Australia. The four of us really enjoyed a send-off lunch.
From the Wharf we went to Buzz' Cafe for a drink. The cafe has a very nice feature: the urinal in the men's toilet is a glass wall that has a one-way view. You can look out, not in. Its a funny idea to stand and p.. while you look whats going on outside.
