An accidental break from blogging…and some holiday snaps
As my parents are visiting, I’ve been making the most of the opportunity to have a holiday and I’ve taken them to some beautiful places in Western Australia over the last two weeks. Firstly we went to Rottnest Island for two nights, and then came back for a day before heading off on a week-long road trip to Denmark, Pemberton and Margaret River. My intention whilst I was away was to do some blogging, and I hauled the laptop away with me, but none of the places we stayed had internet reception and so I’ve been disconnected.
Sometimes, though, it’s nice not to have choices and to have the decision made for you. I would have loved to connect with the blogosphere, to read what people have been up to, and to share the thousands of thoughts I’ve been having whilst I’ve been away, but it was actually great to disconnect with the virtual world and connect with the real one instead. I’ve had a fantastic time and feel recharged, re-energised and re-motivated.
Want to see some holiday snaps?
Here is Rottnest…
Next we went to Denmark and Albany…
Here is the Gloucester Tree near Pemberton. If you look closely you can see metal pegs – the tree is a fire lookout and you can climb up it! I am not game for that kind of thing so stayed at the bottom and appreciated it from there.
I have to say though, whilst the holiday was fantastic, being back feels good too.
Getting back always feels good – but what a beautiful spot for a holiday!
The south-west of Australia is beautiful : )
You “stayed at the bottom and appreciated it from there.” Really? Hahaha :-P
Well I went up five rungs to experience the thrill of the ladder climbing, and that was quite enough for me!
Beautiful photos! I like the pink birds — and the round gray rocks, like sleeping elephants.
Well spotted! It’s known as ‘elephant rocks’!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_Rocks_(Western_Australia)
The pink and grey galahs (cockatoos) are my favourite Australian birds. They have such personality too – you never see the on their own, they are always hanging out with their friends. I love them!
Aw, I love the Wallabies!
