A sigh of relief!

HELLO, WELCOME AND BON VOYAGE!

This is our first ever blog. In my dream to stay as uncontactable as possible I have set up this device as a means to an ends of technlogical distraction, so welcome.


We begun our journey into the abys ohhhh? 3 weeks ago... since then time has flown, we have finished a few months worth of renos within a few days, organised tickets...insurance....visas' passports and birth certificates.

we have learnt how to become landlords, property managers, lock smiths, guarantors, painters, renovators, travel agents, insurance brokers, cleaners, driver's, movers, visa officials, translators and speed hearer's (yes speed hearer's gosh they speak fast) ............ all within the last week.

Luckily so it seems the gods.... all of them.... have been with us and giving us a helping hand to be on our much awaited holiday away from the distractions of modern life, work, renos, phones, tvs, computers, dvds and did i say phones?

I am to be thanking the swift hands of THE GODS along with the swift hands of MANIC MAN, and the strong hands of OUR BELOVED FAMILYfor getting the house finished and cleaned so we can leave it in the ... hopefully grateful hands of it's new tenants.

We have been preparing ourselves with weird australian/ melbourne made illustrated stories of the legends namely RAMA AND SHIVA... documentaries by an enthusisastic Michael Woods, reading lonely planet, consulting with well travelled friends .....But only within the last few days so mainly we head into the abys blindly and wide eyed to welcome everything in our path.


 we only have to visit family and friends pack our bags and get to the airport on time.... which seems simple however even that provides a challenge for the boys and banksia.




And so with 3 more sleeps we breathe a sigh of relief as we have only to contemplate the contemplation of meditation in the hills, begars in the streets, budah tree in the East and the Dalai Lama in the West. 


A CIRCLE, A JOURNEY, A PLACE AND SOME PEACE AMONGST THE RUSHING STREETS.
