Hello from Fiji


We are in Fiji, it is summer but it is also the wet season!!! It's absolutely beautiful and when it's sunny it's even better. The temperature is around 30 deg all the time. Just having a nice relax before heading off for San Francisco on Thursday for our skiing adventure - hope the pants fit!!! The adventure still continues.

Whale watch 21 Feb 2006


Well here we are in New Zealand, in Kaikoura doing a spot of fishing yesterday and guess what? The whale got away but at least it waved 'goodbye'. We also saw 600 dolphins playing alongside our boat. We are now in Christchurch, we go to Fiji tomorrow for a rest!!!!
The adventure continues!

Never smile.......


Fortunately they had already eaten.

The Rain Forest


Went by train(an ex gold railway) to a village called Kuranda in the heart of the Rain Forest. The scenery was fantastic and it didn't rain!!! Came back by skyrail, the longest in the world and it went above the forest - amazing!

The Olgas


This is the other main rock but with 38 heads. The Aborogines call this one Kata Tjuta and it's just as amazing, can you spot Uluru in the distance? We also watched the sunset on Sunday night whilst enjoying our feast of Australian 'Tucker'.
We are now in Port Douglas, Queensland. We have a trip booked on The Great Barrier Reef tomorrow. Will be in touch!!!

Ayers Rock or Uluru?


What an amazing view as we were cruising at 3,000 feet with our gorgeous pilot Andrew. Phil did a wonderful job as co-pilot and i was the official photographer!!

Set beside the ferry on the Swan River. 76m tall and contains the bells of St Martins. It is one of the world's biggest musical instruments. How's that for culture??
