Happy New Year - 2010
Hi Coral, these are such beautiful photos I really hope you are going to put them in a travel book for all to see. I'm sure that National Geographics or Lonely Planet would want them.... Have a wonderful 2010 and I hope it brings all you could wish for. Love Dann, Brian and KT - Gold Coast, Australia
