Geo: -23.7004, 133.881On Monday we arrived in Alice Springs and rented a camper van to explore the surrounding area. Jim had fun driving on the wrong side of the road. We spent 5 days in the Outback and did not see one kangaroo!!! We did see camels. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over Uluru. The following morning we were delighted to view both Uluru and the Olgas at sunrise. We then spent the day hiking thru the Olgas. They were very interesting mountain formations. We did get caught in the rain here, but it just added to our adventure. The last night we stayed in Alice Springs which seems like a very nice little city.... read more

Geo: -17.52, -149.56Jim and I had a fabulous time on Raimiti. It is definitely not a place everyone would like, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is unspoilt paradise.

It was very thrilling to be swimming along side sharks, octopus, etc. We really had an amazzing time. We spend our last night in French Polynesia in Tahiti. We have really enjoyed our time in French Polynesia and hope to come back someday. ... read more

Geo: -16.3254, -145.621Jim and I spent another wonderful morning enjoying Irefa Beach. The swimming was great and the scenery is so beautiful. In the afternoon we joined the other couple with us and went to a snorkelling area called the South Pass. We snorkelled in a small lagoon full of amazing fish and beautiful coral gardens. We swam among 3 ft long Napoleon fish, black tipped reef sharks, white tipped reef sharks, moray eels, and hundreds of other types of beautiful fish. Some of our favorite fish were the trumpetfish, parrotfish, angelfish, moorish idols, picassofish and many many more. We have never seen so many different fish, so close. It was pretty exciting to be so close to sharks. From the lagoon was a passage into the pass between the atoll and the open ocean, where ... read more
