Back in the November of 2008, we embarked on an adventure that would take us out of everything that we were so familiar with, a comfortable life in the UK, friends, family and the English countryside.

You are bringing back memories of Ubir to us. What a fantastic view. Straight out of crocodile Dundee. I thought they had doctored the image for the film but not at all. Just stunning and the sunset was worth the walk. Lots of love, Helen
