I have been thinking about this route for a couple of weeks now it’s looks like a very interesting way to get to Brisbane and most of all to get to know the actual country.. the real Australia

Hopefully there will be much more to come

Good news everyone All our 12 month holiday visas have been accepted and they are ready to be used. Great news specially for someone which is not British, because being a Portuguese trying to go to Australia is not as easy as you might think, I explain! We had two nationalities applying and the Portuguese ones took 1 month and we had to take an X-ray (which cost us £150), have our picture taken by the Australian Authorities, send our bank statements with enough money and send a photocopy of our passports. The owner of the British passport got its visa 24h later and no papers or x-rays needed and her visa has the option to work in Australia which the Portuguese ones wont be allowed to do.

Hopefully there will be much more to come

More great news. We have purchased the tickets to Perth… So, I guess this is really happening now.. From a single idea to a final decision.
We looked for days to find the cheapest fares.. And the best website to compare prices is at kayak, specially long distance flights. There was a cheaper one than Singapore Airlines but the airline wasn’t part of the Star Alliance group which all of us are part of to try to get some free close distance flights. So we bought through ebookers.com and cost us £499 a one way ticket. We are leaving here on the 11 of September 2009 from London Heathrow on a Airbus A380, stopping in Singapore Changi International Airport for 3 hours (maybe even meeting Brian there for a few hours) and then off to Perth International Airport arriving around 1pm.

Hopefully there will be much more to come

This sabbatical year i have decided (since I am the only driver) to enjoy a trip without any sort of rush. So i have putted a limit target to myself  during the whole trip to 80 KM/h on motor ways and if i do go over i will post it, so i’ll make sure that i wont fall for it.

For people who know me you will understand that normally i dont go as fast as 80 km/h even when I am in a rush to get somewhere so some people wont even get surprised by this decision.

I even have a funny story just for you to understand that this even might be a problem for some people. This was around 2002 I was taking my girlfriends brother from his parents house to his grandparents, a trip that normally for him would take around 15 min because his parents have a kind of a heavy foot as we say in Portuguese and basically the trip was taking so long that after 45 min he started crying and moaning. Screaming that it shouldnt take take long to get there. Having in mind that there wasnt any stops, heavy traffic or even any accidents on those roads.

Hopefully there will be much more to come

Hello Everyone we have arrived! Been here for a couple of days and still jetlagged.. Our hostel is quite cool and not too busy. We are in central Perth and we have been studying the city. Its not too big so it should be fine.

One bad thing is that finding Wi-Fi has proven to be a pain in the crack.. Is the internet!! But the 22.6kb from the library is proving to be the Fibre Optic of the area
