Caravan picked up and Elvis has left the building

We have picked up our Caravan complete with 2 toilets and spa and have now headed towards Lake Eyre. We expect to be in Broken Hill by next Monday after a stop over in Albury.

The fabulous Fable

In a stunning turn of events, it has surfaced that Marie and Darryl didn't actually visit Germany and the Autobahn, nor did Darryl break his nose, nor did he carry a Pocketknife onto the plane, or hear the Princes' burp or visit the Falkirk wheel or break his phone at the blarney stone. As a matter of fact it turns out that M and D had nothing at all to do with the blog, it seems a recalcitrant Brother in Law has too much time on his hands and created a fictitious blog in response to being skipped in Scrabble!!!

For the true facts speak to M and D, for the mythical journey stay posted for the ongoing journey through Central Australia.

217km per hour

Well what a whirlwind 3 days, we headed to Brighton - it is very funny what the English call a beach!! At brighton Darryl hired a WRX Subaru with an impeller drive shaft and ALC control (whatever that means). We then caught the Chunnel over to Calais. It was very odd being under water for that long - I felt like we were on an episode of Ocean Girl. And then we started to make our way to Poland to see one of Darryls ancestral towns, however it turns out Darryl wasn't really interested in travellign to Poland - he was more interested in travelling on the AutoBahn!!!

We crossed the Mileau Bridge and then headed into Germany. And that is when I understood the real intent of Darryl. He Hit 217 kmh after cruising at around 180 for a few minutes. And, of all things, we overtook when we going top speed by a Volkswagen of some sort (it was a convertible wiht the top down!!)



Anyway, after an hour or so on the Autobahn Darryl decided he didnt really need to go to Poland so we turned around, drove through Belgium and down to PAris before heading back to Calais andthe CHunnel.

And interesting thing, when we were at Australia House looking into Work Visas, we ran into Prince Harry and William (they were there for the bushfire thing). And we swear that one of them burped - they were just standing aroudn waiting to go onto a small stage and didnt realise there were people behind them. They didnt seem to care though!!!
