We had a lovely time with him and his girlfriend, Bec. We stayed at the Sheraton (Michael works there) and enjoyed walks along the boardwalk and swimming in the pool. It was very relaxing.... read more

We arrived in Sydney very early in the morning and we were feeling pretty tired as we had had no sleep. We gathered our bags and were met by our transfer. Imagine my shock and surprise when a stretch limosine pulled up!!! I had no idea!! What a fantastic end to the holiday - a ride home in a limo. I have never been in a limo before and I was very excited. We are thrilled to be home and back with our girls and Steve R. When we walked into the house we were met by a lovely 'welcome home' sign. (Thankyou Meagan you are very thoughtful). We cannot believe what we have done. The places we have been, the sights we have seen, the fantastic people and family that we have met along the ... read more

Today we had our first sleep- in, lovely. We then went up to the pool area and had a lovely swim in the pool and an enjoyable and relaxing breakfast. It was so nice to float around in the pool and reflect on our holiday. We have seen and done so much in such a short time. We then met up with Mike and Jan and went on a cruise on the Singapore River. The cruise was lovely and we enjoyed taking in all the sights of Singapore. Following our cruise we went to the famous Raffles Hotel. (I had to have a Singapore Sling at Raffles!!). Jan and I wandered around the Hotel and we were amazed at is grandeur. We then returned to the Swisshotel and collected our bags and headed for the airport ... read more

We crawled into bed and had 4hours sleep and then met Mike and Jan to explore Singapore. We caught the hop-on, hop-off bus and saw all the sights. Mike and Jan then went back to the Hotel and Steve and I went exploring. We caught the bus down to the Singapore Flyer, which is similar to the London Eye. We had some fabulous views from up on the Flyer. We then caught a bus to Sentosa Island and enjoyed a ride on the cable car. We spent a couple of hours there before heading back to the Hotel. We then met up with Mike and Jan and had dinner at Little India, where they served our curry on a banana leaf. Our first day in Singapore was very busy.... read more

This morning we had a relaxing breakfast followed by a walk up the hillside along from the Santorini Princess Hotel. We sat for a while on the wall in front of the church and took in the wonderful views. We then went down to Thira for a late lunch and ate at the Parea Restaurant. I had a greek beef stew and the others had pork and potatoes. Jan and I then went and shopped for more souveniers. My small carry-on bag is bursting with little trinkets that I have collected along our journey. We drove back to the Hotel and had a quiet afternoon before going out to dinner at Maria's and Nikos' place. Jan and Mike were staying with Maria and Nikos last week and they very kindly invited us all to dinner. We ... read more

Today we drove to Thira and Mike parked the car in a No Parking Zone. LOL. There were no other parks available. We took the cable car down to the Old Port below Thira. Our sailing vessel was called St Nikolas. It was a lovely timber sailing boat, beautiful. We sailed over to Neo Kameni and hiked up to the top of the volcano. It was quite a struggle to get to the top. The top of the volcano was still smouldering and smelt strongly of sulphur. We then reboarded the boat and sailed to the Hot Springs at Poleo Kameni and some of the people from the tour had a swim in the Hot Springs. We then sailed to Therassia where we had lunch at a water-side restaurant called, Captain Johns. After lunch we sailed ... read more
