An issue that could have put a BIG spanner in the works of our Aussie trip was rapidly resolved to our advantage by @ #chinasouthernairlines
Guangzhou to Adelaide flight cancelled 4 2 days.
Switched us onto Malaysian Airlines via KL at no extra cost. Less flight time. Home sooner. Well done!

The cleaner (paid for by the homeowner)comes on Thursday mornings. So we left her to it and wandered down to a beach Cafe to enjoy the seaside vibes and watch the planes come in and out. 🏖☕🧁🛩

Sometimes the simplest gadgets make a huge difference on the road. We've come across nearly every coffee making apparatus on our travels, especially when housesitting. But I've always got my back up plan when things get too complicated. #coffeeaddict

Why do cheery tomatoes always taste better in The Med? So much more flavor than in the UK or Oz. I'm obsessed and downing them like bar snacks - breakfast, lunch, dinner..anything.. 😋

After being on the move constantly for over a month, it's time to nest for a while with these munchkins.
Lovely apartment, great location, plus use of the homeowner's SUV.
