After skipping coffee with the President of the United States upon our arrival in Bali it seems he managed to get his own back the following morning as we began our journey to the island of Flores, 2 hours east of Bali. We made our way across the shimmering tarmac to our tiny plane, our weary bodies cooled only by the shade of Air Force One, and took our seats. We sat through all the usual infligh...

RE: fantastic blog & pics
Hi Tom & Anja I am really enjoying your blog and pictures. Very envious!!! When you're back you'll have to come up to Newcastle and we can catch a match and you can tell me all about your travels. In Oz, make sure you go to Manly beach in Sydney - thats where to learn to surf! Catching the ferry there on a Sunny morning is magical. Bondi isn't up to much. Wish we'd gone into Blue Mountains but didn't have time. If you are venturing up the East coast we found the following great and worth a visit: Noosa north of Brisbane was great, especially the food in the surf club on Hastings street with a great view over the beach. It was also a great base to travel to Fraser Island (a must!) roaming dingos, freshwater lakes, the famous Maheno shipwreck etc... Byron Bay was a bit bohemian but well worth the visit to see the lighthouse on the penninsula and a photo at Australia's most easterly point. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane is brilliant if you can find it - get a hire car with a sat nav!!! Bar that we went to Airlie Beach as a base to explore the Whitsunday Islands. We caught the force of the Cyclone that wrecked devastation along much of the East coast so pick your day for boat trips carefully!!! Anyways, keep the blogs rolling. Hope to catch you on your return to hear all about it! Take care the both of you Paul
