Marie's Travels
Hi Everyone,
Well I am finally unemployed again. I left Melbourne last week when my Mum got here to visit after her 2 weeks in Thailand and a week in Bali. We spent a couple of days in Melbourne, where I showed her the sights and took her out with my friends, we went to see Dylan Moran at the comedy festival, drove along the great ocean road (for my 3rd time, a bit over that now) and visited lots of nice eateries and had plenty of wine, success I think. I was soooo sad to leave and keep getting a strong urge to just turn around and head back, it was like leaving home all over again, however I have my travels to look forward to now and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to not have to get up for work on a morning!
After our week in Melbourne and surrounds we flew out to the outback and spent some time at Uluru (Ayers Rock), it was a great couple of days, rather overwhelming and some really interesting stories from the locals. We did the base walk around Ayers Rock and visited the Olgas as well, I will have some pics on very soon for you all to have a look at, they don't really do it justice but all the same still nice to see.
We are now in Sydney, we headed out for a couple of days to Hunters Valley to check out the wineries, which as always was one of my highlights, I love that place. After spending a small fortune and stocking up on more wine than we could carry we headed back to Sydney. My Uncle David and Tracy arrived on Thursday from New Zealand for the weekend and we are staying in a really great apartment on the 20th floor with an amazing view over Darling Harbour, sooo beautiful! Had a trip out to Manly yesterday and today have been looking round Paddington at the shops and the markets. We're in Sydney until Monday, then me and my mum fly up to Cairns to check out the Great Barrier Reef and cape tribulation etc!
Anyway will get some pics on soon as poss as promised, let me know what you are all up to, missing you lots.
Love Mariexxx
