Sydney Road Trip - Days 1 & 2

Once again, we set on an adventure by car to the Australian wild, heading this time all the way from Melbourne to the big international hub of Sydney in the neighbouring state of NSW. This time we had a company of four, with S & Little E joining the two of us.

The journey started early into a grey, rainy morning, so the first day wasn't particularly photogenic.


The route for the day was roughly through the South coast of Australia, through Lakes Entrance and Cann river up North all the way to Bombala :)




On the way, we stopped by at Sale for the Australian favorite lunch - meat pie - and later briefly in Cann River in a weird local diner with bicycles and other miscellaneous items hanging from the ceiling. After almost six hundred kilometres and several hours of driving later, we finally reached our quiet bead and breakfast in Bombala. We pretty much got the whole floor of the building for ourselves.

Klara Vappen, Bara Vatten

Today's officially Vappu (1st of May), which is the national labor day in Finland. It's also the biggest national student party of the year, with massive festivities, haalarit (Overalls) and copious amounts of alcohol.

Also, Vappu includes a selection of different culinary traditions - namely: nakkis (frankfurters), perunasalaatti (potato salad), sima (well, a sort of a home made mead) and munkkis (home-made donuts with cardamom). That's what we decided to do in Australia as well:


Happy Vappu!
