Atmospheres R us
Hello again! Now I understand why you sounded a bit spaced on Saturday morning Simon. You really would need to focus and think what you had been up to when you are both enjoying so many new experiences. What an amazing country, to be sure. There's no fear of your dad and I being bored when we retire because we have to see this for ourselves. Don't know about the kayaking though-I'll take your word and the evidence of the pics for that trip. Your pics are brilliant-arty shot very impressive as was the one of the trees with the sun glinting through-the rainbow was caught to perfection and atmosphere 1 and 2 appeal no end. Are you sharing the photo taking duties? The scenes are breathtaking but it is always good to see the both of you in some shots. Your camper van does look roomy and you looked very cosy, Heather. Speak to you again soon. I think it is just as well that you are keeping this blog as a running record of your trip with so much going on. I wouldn't want to have missed any of your fantastic escapades. Love to you both, Big hugs, Mum xxx
