Adders for 2012

As you may have guessed from the previous travel based posts we were on our way to Australia, Straya, the land Down Under, Oz, or as I call it Home. Yes, even though I have a visa here and still feel Polish in some ways, I don't think, without fluent language, any ability to drink straight vodka and a driving death wish, I can truly call myself Polish.

So, how do I bring you the amazing time I spent back in Adelaide without putting you through the fun of sorting out all my "old" stuff in a huge garage, learning to kill millipedes by the millions, eating all the "favourite" foods, or drinking copious amounts of wine, beer, cider, port, whiskey, vodka, oh, yeah, and water. Got to have water......

Rather than bore the pants off you with my extreme witty wordsmithery, I think I shall just post photos up and see how they are received.

Rainbow

Or is that Rainbows.....

Gotta get over that hill for a pot of gold!

Everyone wants to get in on the photos

Sunsetting

Looks good in B&W too

Speaking of B&W that is the colours of the local gang

They even try house breaks

Anyone who reads this, knows I like my food but these guys make it hard to....

The non-stop pressure makes you relent sometimes.

So, instead off to the beach for our "traditional" sushi, oh look soft sand!

Good to see some dune life

Big white beach

Sushi to go

I think the quote here is "Yum!"

Can't talk eating

Jump if you are happy

I love this sequence

Paddle fun

Beach bits

More beach bits.

Wawa and storms

Warsaw in summer is funnily tropical. Well, it is to someone from an extremely dry country. This year, we had some torrential rain, which reminded me of the "knock em down" (Banggerreng in the local Aboriginal dialect) storms I experienced in my 6months in Darwin way back in 2000. Then later we experienced lots of lightning and thunder, some really near to the house feeling like we were having a religious experience. You can imagine why people of past generations felt that their gods were angry when they heard such loud sounds. The advantage of all this patchy weather of course is that you get some really pretty light shows. Either as lightning or as bursts through clouds or the ever fanciful rainbow.

As we start our, hopefully, slow slide into Autumn, I thought I should get back to the good old sweaty days in Warsaw. With some photos of the stormy times.
