Mum said that Gaye said that Terry said we are living the dream... (Or the not so fun things )

This is all the yucky stuff, so quit reading if you like.
Quit here and read no further.
If you continue reading start with a smile and a sense of humour.
This is the stuff travel is all about.
Yeah yeah we all like to know about the pretty scenes, idyllic lifestyle and all the good stuff.....boring......yawn.....zzzzzzzzz

What about Tim and Michelle losing all their luggage...twice!! Or was it three times!!!!!
What about when the Williamsons had to repackage and sort in the airport, casserole dishes in bins....not boring....

Here are some (but not all....indeed not all...some just don't bear...).

Four heavy bags and extra money...three full of paintings
Lots of steps
Aching arms and frayed tempers...patience long gone
Uncertain toilets
The smallest toilet in the world in the "apartment" a long way down the hall. Harldly room to turn let alone ........
Expensive food, like $10 for a salad roll
$60 just for cheese on toast and pasta
Carrying on a business using free wifi from a nearby cafe, standing, sitting, trying to be inconspicuous.
Getting lost
Scratching the hire car
Not being able to get petrol
Getting lost
Getting on the wrong road
Getting lost
Going to the airport
Finding the right road
Wiping away tears (relief or stress ...)
Stepping in dog poo
Banished for stepping in dog poo
Being reminded of childhood same occurrences
Being told to go play in the dirt to get rid of the smell
Travelling a long way with offending shoes smells
Being banished again ... Dog poo smells stay forever...
Awkward toilet moments
Smelly train passengers
Now we will be the offending passengers due to dog
...and this is just week one... To be continued....
