HOMESICK

What would be your choice - 20 minutes or 20 hours? OK, we drove till nearly dark cause we had to find a space for the night. Despite bull-bar... avoid driving in the dark in Australia! 

For Sami´s just scroll down- it´s a very cute mural I found!

Hello, Iris
It looks like scenery would not change during 20 hour drive.
Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.

Exactly, it´s so calm, lonely, heaven! Sometimes you don´t meet another car in three days! And if you greet one another.

Tom said...

...lots and lots of brown and your Baby matches!

Iris Flavia said...

So YES, Tom! The first one was spinifex-green! No one ever saw us!

CJ Kennedy said...

Look at you. You were just a baby.

Iris Flavia said...

Hey! I drove this Baby! Offroad! :-)
But then... Dad taught me to drive our 5er BMW at age 14... with gears, of course, as this one.

Considering a 20-hour drive with that view -- not so much!

When you can retire, will you move to Perth? It seems to be where you belong, truly.

Where is Henry today? Visiting a lady friend?

Iris Flavia said...

Australia does not take people 50+, so... nope.
Visits only... Other you are like really rich, which we are sadly not....
Henry has his Swan-friends at Sami´s today :-)

Dear friend Iris, when the views are spectacular, and it is peaceful, 20 hours can be great. Hugs 🫂 and much love ❤️

Iris Flavia said...

It is wonderful, believe me, dear friend Linda! Hugs and much love on the way.

The 20 hour drive would rival the road that leads to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

Iris Flavia said...

That would likely be too cold foe me, though!

DVArtist said...

I would rather do 20 hours than 20 minutes of traffic.

Iris Flavia said...

Yipps!!!

Wouldn't it be fun if you could take your vacation rental car home? Glad there are the good memories though. Hope it was a good Monday. hugs-Erika

River said...

I would probably spend part of the 20 hours napping, since I don't drive.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, "he" was bought! Renting a car for 7 months would be expensive. But.... getting this big boy to Germany... and he ate really much. And we have no parking space... He´s in my heart, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, but there driving is so much fun!

Granny Sue said...

Ah, yes, true in much of the world. Old people are not welcome unless rich!

magiceye said...

20 hours for me! 😊

Iris Flavia said...

YES!!!
