VH-KDK Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I haven't been around for a while as I am currently on a round the World trip. After spending a week in Brisbane I set out for Hawaii two weeks ago and I am currently in Victoria, Vancouver Island. Tomorrow off to Vancouver for a couple of days before embarking on a 7 day Alaskan cruise. Plenty more travelling ahead before getting back to Oz on October 22nd! Take care youwall.

macca22au Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I lived in Victoria for a year with my family. An absolutely stunning place altogether, if you don't mind a place with the climate of Hobart and the rainfall of the Tropics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, was that deliberate or is your navigation rubbish? <grin> Seriously though, hope you have a truly wonderful journey - Dylan's on the road, I believe Neil Young is out there as well, even the Rick Parfitt-less Quo, so you're in good company! Take lots of pix, drink lots of drinks, eat lots of eats and wallow in all those weird accents (you are stopping in Wales, yes?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I could not believe you are making such a dream trip IN REAL LIFE? Given your sense of humour it might just be virtual. On the other hand I have not seen you on the forum for more than a week, this would be an indication you are indeed travelling physically. If so: Have all the fun you can get. But ... you have bad timing: If you come over to visit your friend in Germany, you may miss me: I´ll be travelling in the next weeks as well. Keep on posting your travel story here, maybe you get advise. Perhaps even good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
