... appeared quite
calm from the land... but it was a different matter when we got out
to sea. Once we left the Marina area we were off...Zoom! Hitting the
waves, bouncing everywhere.. it was fantastic. Ethan and Ellie optd
for staying beloe the bow of the booat, Dean braved the back of the
boat.. the coldest part, watching the waves comes at us. Some where
even hitting the windscreen. We spotted a practice rescue mission
taking place just off the shore as we ...

... better than BA / Qantas! I watched lots of movies on the flight over here despite the fact that they edit them so heavily that some don't make sense and there are no sweary words! Because of this I started watching Step Brothers and had to stop after 10 minutes because I couldn't take it anymore with people calling each other 'Motherfunkers' and 'Sons of Witches'. Right I think I've strung this one out as much as possible.. on to the next place!

OK, finally managed to access the photos and have added them to the album --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ------------ Before I forget, I have uploaded my sky diving video to the "crawling and falling entry", for those who want to hear my terrible singing....no wonder they threw me out of the plane! Ok, so I first have to apologise for being completely slack and not keeping you up to date with my travels. I'm now in ...

... it and we found a cave that led to a small rocky bay. It was so pretty that we decided to camp there for the night. Nikos cooked some delicious pasta for everybody and after a bit of wine and card playing we dozed off for the night. The next morning, Mina and Thomas went scubadiving to the Poor Knights islands, one of the 5 best diving sites in the world according to Jean Jacques Cousteau. These islands are 1 hour away from ...

... stranger (particularly once who doesn't laugh, I think my humor may be a bit lost in translation but...) Anyway because of one/all of these 1. I'm English and therefore polite 2. I"m not a horrid person 3. I don't like confrontation 4. I was worried I'd judged him to quickly we set off together. It was motivating, Martin does not cruise, any flat road and its pedal to the metal, go go GO! I cruise, I look at the view, I stop for ...

... vrienden kennen van Maxine, Tracy en Ho. Tracy is een Engelse en Ho ne rasechte Maori. Wij dachten eerst dat ze maar een beetje ouder waren als ons maar toen ze begonnen over hun 6 kinderen en ik weet ni hoeveel kleinkinderen kwamen we te weten dat we bijna 50 zijn. Ze zijn een aantal keren op bezoek gekomen en na een heerlijke paella klaargemaakt door onze alombekende Valenciaanse vriendin zijn we in het midden van de nacht het bos met hen ingetrokken om.... possums te gaan ...

... Kanchanaburi, I decided that Thailand was one of the most beautiful places I had been to - up there with Tanzania and not much else. So I vowed to return. Aaron, I'm sure would much rather have gone back to the very glitzy and civilized Las Vegas, but he's so sweet (I mean macho - for any Mark Cromie Readers) that he agreed to some adventure tourism instead! Yay! Our travels will take us ...

... garden. The breakfast they gave the following morning but served in the main house and was tasty. We had the rest of the afternoon and evening to explore Whangarei. We headed into town to have lunch at a cafe on the waterfront and checked out the many, high quality galleries and souveneir shops. We then walked around town some more--taking in some fun shops (amoung these a good sewing shop with nice quilting materials), visiting several parks and gardens (the nicest of ...

... de poisson, notamment des raies en-veux-tu-en-voila, et franchement, pas mal de coins interessants (arches, grottes, tombants sublime). Le pied total. JJ (toujours Cousteau) avait raison (en tout cas, c'est parmi les 10 meilleurs que JE connaisse, ce qui est loin d'etre dur). C'en est au point qu'avant meme de rentrer au port, on se decide a passer notre deuxieme niveau de plongee sur les 2 journees suivantes histoire d'en profiter un peu plus ...
