Greetings! and welcome to my blog - my adventure part two begins here. After a year working in Oz, a quick stop home before I packed my bags and left for India in March 2012 to meet up with one of my super accountants. A trip on the transiberian to follow will bring me to Beijing to spend a month in China, enroute back to Melbourne.

Previously... Leaving from Cork in August 2010, my first stop is Buenos Aires to become super fluent in Spanish before travelling up through South America. I'll be posting photos and information along the way and hopefully the accountants will have something to say too!

  • Later in the week…

    Auto Date Sunday, August 29th, 2010

    We had yet more steak this week – Leah was here for two nights before flying home, so we had to have a departure dinner for her. El Establo was the favourite restaurant of the week – really friendly staff and great food. There was also a couple of nights out. Thursday, we went to a great place – Club Araos. When we arrived there was a skate board competition going on followed by some break dancers. Afterwards came the regular DJ and they played some good RnB all night so we did plenty of dancing.

    And then came the highlight of the trip – A Jesus theme park. We went to Tierra Santa on Saturday, having heard about the giant mechanical Jesus that resurrects from behind a mountain we were quite curious. The whole place was quite bizarre – loads of tacky installations for everything in the bible – a last supper room, a stations of the cross, a nativity scene and even a wailing wall. All of them involved lifesize plastic models that had moving mouths and limbs – all very bizarre! And so we come to the end of the first part of the trip. Onwards to Salta!

    Eleven Sleeps

    Auto Date Monday, August 2nd, 2010

    So there’s eleven sleeps to go before we head off. I’ve brought all my stuff down from Dublin so I have to sort through it all and put it into those vacuum suction bags.

    I’ve finished most of my work, PHEW! I’m just putting the finishing touches to my portfolio site and meeting the clients to give them handovers but I should be done soon. SO much still to organise and I need to start thinking about packing :( It’s only 8 degrees today in BA so a summer wardrobe will not do!
