Norfolk Island

Just got back from our adventure to Norfolk Island! It was an incredible experience. The views were amazing..

The birds..

Other creatures..

The history..

Traffic..

Did I mention the views?

We went to the local fish fry and it was spectacular, I (over) indulged on the coconut bread. We had peaceful, very peaceful, balmy nights. I didn’t realise how much I needed to step outside of Life for a little while to get some fresh brain space/ perspective. The island was just such an amazing experience. I could write more but I think the pictures can do the talking for me. xx

We got up at 3am to do the last of the packing, put on new linen for house sitter, shovel food into our mouths and bundle Kidlet into the car at 3:45am. She woke up and talked and sung the whole way to the airport.
Traveling with kids doesn’t always go smoothly but this was amazing and fun! An adventure together. I don’t think Kidlet has been on a plane since we moved back to Australia from Germany, she was about two and a half. When we’ve gone places we have driven, after living overseas for a while I realized how little of Australia I had actually seen. Mind you – I’m rethinking this after the drive from Sydney to Victoria last year because it sucks.

So we arrived on Saturday afternoon, it’s different to what I expected.. but I’ve never been here before so not really sure I knew what to expect. It’s so beautiful, the birds and the fruit and the way this place manages its food, cows, education, waste, healthcare is really interesting and given me a lot to think about. Kidlet feels inspired to become an explorer and I say that if she wants to do that, she’s got to be open to trying different foods which for the most part has worked! Expect paw paw, no I won’t make her eat that.

Internet is very non committal so I don’t know if this will work or not!

Argh, this world – it’s so precious.
