Hello Peter and Laini! Glad to hear you are still having so much fun! I have added visiting the "jackass penquin colony" to my list of things to do. It sounds and looked like a wonderful adventure with Peter's extended family! That is fabulous!! The Misty Cliffs look just breath taking! Love hearing from you and send you our love! We miss you!

Fabulous Trip
What a marvelous time you are having and I am thoroughly enjoying all of your adventures!! Had my left shoulder operated on Thursday, August 14th so am stuck at home for a while until I can wear proper clothes and until I am able to drive so your blog is a highlight of my day!!! Also have a blog set up for Brian and Maureen Barker, they are snorkling for a year and at present are in the Thailand/Malaysia area, also very entertaining and interesting. Keep on trekking and writing. Thank you and my best wishes, Linda.
