As the adage goes “time flies when you’re having fun (busy)”, and it’s hard to believe that its been ten months since our last blog from Hong Kong. We haven’t been idle and this blog is really just a quick catch up on these past months.
As far as travel goes, the intervening interval has seen us experimenting with Australian train travel on a journey to the Sunshine Coast, undertaking a two-week self-drive adventure around Tasmania and participating in a family cruise alongside the Queensland coast.
Aside of travel a lot of my time has been spent turning 2017’s epic adventure into a book. Titled ‘Bucket Lists and Walking Sticks’, it chronicles our travels and all going to plan should be published sometime in 2019.
With the business of actually writing the book now finished, its been good to be able to turn our attention back to Darma Travels and infuse it with some attention. The site has had a bit of a facelift recently and while still a work in progress, is ready for some new blogs. A new adventure, hopefully commencing late 2019 is in the pipeworks, this time involving the Panama Canal but is still in the very early stages of development.
Tasmania in Two Weeks.
In May of this year, we flew into Hobart, hired a car and spent the following fourteen days traversing Australia’s southernmost state. I wrote a comprehensive blog on our experience but as it’s currently under negotiation with GoNomad to appear on their site, I am unable to publish it to Darma Travels. It means that I am just going to have to write an alternative blog which I hope to do so in the upcoming weeks.
Cruising with the Family.
In June, twenty-eight family members hoped on the P&O cruise ship Pacific Dawn as it made its way up the east coast of Australia. Traveling from Brisbane to Airlie Beach our group ranging in age from two to seventy-nine, managed to spend the time together pleasantly and harmoniously (just), despite the confinement of a cruise ship. It was a memorable, enjoyable experience watching a seventy-nine-year-old participate in his first cruise, watching him chat up the single ladies and dance on the ships top deck. It was also nice to once again experience some onboard pampering.
