We made it to the UK finally. Lots of adventures on the way.
And now it is evening.
We’ve checked into our holiday flat in Hove and i’m sitting here looking over the ocean across the road. Strangely, it is not at all unlike where we were on Marine Terrace in Fremantle. I’m looking South, Africa is far over the horizon to the south. Back in Freo we were looking west, towards Africa again. Interesting.
We’ve travelled well. Lots of practice from the big jaunt last year I guess.
And our new lives begin from here. Tomorrow we start looking for work, a home, a car etc. Just a couple of little things :-)
More soon. Back a bit closer to the Internet again, so I’ll be posting more often.
Google maps shows where we are: Corner of Kingsway and Hove St.
Hi Gra
Hope you don’t mind me jumping in … :)
Good to hear you arrived alright. Blooming jealous that you’re cruising my old haunt – god, I miss local tap Beer!
Do you like Spanish food? Good, I hoped you’d say ‘yes’. There is a restaurant, off Middle St in Brighton (going into the ‘Lanes’ – 5 Union Street) called ‘Casa Don Carlos’.
It should still be there and owned by 2 slightly mad Spaniards.
I have a total obsession and even after 6 years, cannot get it out of my head. If you fancy a meal out – try the Mojo or Chilli Potatoes, the Chickpeas and the Omelette.
‘Dig in The Ribs’ in Preston Street is (?) a good Mexican, especially the Tequilla!!
Hi Emma, not at all. you are most welcome to jump in here as much as you want!
Thanks for the tips… will get down to both of those really soon.
Slowly getting settled. Got a house organised (except for the piles of paperwork still required :-) and got a school for Bea, so we are finding our feet slowly.
Hi Gra:
Tried giving a call on Skype the other day. Did I wake you? =)
skribe —
ah, got yer voicemail. But we were living with stolen internet only, and it came and went a bit. So, not quite sure exactly when you called. Will catch you on skype sometime soon.
