We're Back!!


Returned this week after a fabulous trip to Oz (4 days) and South Africa (16 days). Still seem to be suffering from a little bit of jet lag as we are both a bit tired during the day.

In Australia we met up with Janet and Jim, a couple we met on the tour we undertook to Europe last year. It was certainly good to see them again. Also this time in Sydney we, with them, walked across the Harbour Bridge at night.

South Africa - will put down my impressions in later blogs but it was an interesting trip to an interesting area of the world and would love to return some day but probably unlikely due to $$$$. When we looked at going to SA we thought we better go on a tour for safety reasons but our experience was that we could probably have done it on our own. It seemed to be safer than we thought as long as you used common sense and kept away from J'burg which seem a bit more risky than down south in the Cape area.

Travelling is always a thrill but returning home is always wonderful and even more so this time with Kipp and Rhett waiting for us. Kipp has certainly grown and now sits up on his own and is almost crawling while Rhett probably thought we had left him forever.

As I said great to be back!!
