The next morning, I woke up very early and decided to wander outside to see if the clouds had gone away enough to see anything in the sky – NOPE. Oh well. Went back to bed for a little bit. We had another lovely breakfast and conversation with the owners, and then headed toward Sydney….

Where I will write about my travel experiences
The Observatory
Time for another big drive day. We had to get from Brisbane to Coonabarabran. Coonabarabran is a dark skies area and is known for observatories. I had found a quirky Airbnb that had had an observatory included with it. So, I signed us up for it, and now was the time to go. BUT the…
Lots of Animals!
We got up the next day and headed out of Noosa Heads toward The Australia Zoo. This is the zoo made famous by the Crocodile Hunter. “B” and I went here 17 years ago when we were in Australia for my friend’s wedding (“A and K”), and we thought the girls would enjoy it. IT…
Nature Days – Walking, Swimming, and Some 4-Wheeling
This was a big day for us. We had to be out the door by 5:30am to get picked up by a 4×4 vehicle to take us to K-gari (formerly called Fraser Island). This is a sand bar island off the east coast of Australia. It is the largest sand bar island in the world…
A Treehouse, A Waterfall, Shells on a Beach, and Driving.
So, yesterday was fun and all. Since we weren’t able to extend our stay at the Treehouse Airbnb we had to get everything loaded up into the car before we headed out. All good. Here is a picture of the place we were staying at – it was very pretty. The shower and hot water…
The Great Barrier Reef
We woke up the next day and had breakfast and had to get down to the pier to head out to the Great Barrier Reef. This was one of the BIG things we had planned during the trip and we were blessed that we didn’t miss it after all the issues with getting to Australia….
“Trying” to Leave Singapore. The Saga of the Travel Day
One Last picture from the night before of the Singapore Skyline from the Skywalk/Treewalk at the Gardens by the Bay. This was a very nice picture “B” took. It was a late night and now we had to get up early to get to the airport. The earliest train was 5:50am so we planned on…
An Island (not the main island) and Gardens by the Bay. Oh, and yes still Humid.
The next day we went to an island called Palau Ubin. This required a subway and then a bus and then a boat to the island. Once there we rented bicycles to get around on. These bikes we worn and uncomfortable. I know I am a bit of a bike snob, but these were bad….
More Outdoor Fun – Did I Mention it’s Humid
The next day we were off to the Botanic Gardens. “B” really wanted to spend time at their orchid area, and it didn’t let us down. It did cost extra to get into that area, but the rest of the garden was free so no worries there. The orchids were lovely. It rained on and…
Welcome To Singapore – Humid? Oh yeah!
After breakfast we had to catch our flight to Singapore. To be honest I was not excited about going to Singapore. But “B” really wanted to and we had read that seeing otters in the wild, or even in the city, was a high possibility so we were going. My seat got messed up by…
