Holiday disaster
Well, sounds like you are continuing to have great fun. Unfortunately, we didn't get to the Caribbean as Gatwick decided to close the day we were supposed to fly, re-scheduled to Thursday but remained closed then took the decision not to re-schedule again and cancelled the flight so holiday over!! We are going on the 19th Jan now but have managed to get a cheapy to Morocco for a week, leaving tomorrow, to cheer ourselves up!! Will write again when back, much love xxx

Look out NZ she is getting closer.
hi Lynne we are enjoying once again your travel blog. Things are great down under, we are having fantastic weather and it looks like it is going to go on for sometime. Looking forward to seeing you in the new year. We are heading to Christchurch for Christmas to have it with our son Wayne and his wife. They are still having after shocks from the big earth quake. You will notice a big difference with NZ in the summer compared with the winter when you were here last time. No night walks to look at the southern skys as it is still day light at 10.30pm. Keep having fun. Cheers Ross

Snow, snow and more snow!
Hi Lynne, well yes you are right, you have done loads, probably seems more apparant to all of us who only get to read the blogs, not get to carry out the fun stuff! Snow here is horrendous and it's making life tricky at times, I haven't seen my poor old mum as the village she lives in is notoriously difficult to get to in these conditions. So thank your lucky stars and make the most of every minute (sounds like you are). Look forward to the next instalment and take care, Hils x

Sunshine Coast Queensland
Hi Lynne Now you are in "our territory"!! You must drive up the Sunshine Coast! Use the coast road wherever possible after Caloundra. We have stayed there at Kings Beach 4 times! Have a swim at Dicky Beach. When looking for a meal always try the Surf Club or if you are at Kings Beach, the Tavern. They have great daily specials, particularly at lunchtimes. There is a carvery at the surf Club at Maloolaba and you can sit at the big window looking out at the water and at around 5pm daily during the week you can watch the young surf lifesavers in training. Inland from Noosa there is the Eumundi Market with lots of local interest. It is on Wednesdays and Sundays. Also up there is the pineapple factory with tourist activity and the ginger factory. On the way between Brisbane and Caloundra is Australia Zoo. Finally if you want to see what the Ozzies do in the evenings go to the RSL Club at Caloundra. If you are staying anywhere on the coast there is a free courtesy bus to take you there and back. It is the winning club in all of Queensland. The Coast is just beautiful. Our favourites...Coolum Beach and Peregian. Amazing!! Enjoy. Love Jocelyn

B.....y Teeth!
Gosh Lynne it makes me cross when I think if it wasn't for my b..... teeth I could well have been enjoying all that with you!! It looks sooooo beautiful and I agree with you about the jacaranda trees - when we were in Perth the streets near my cousins were full of them - I not that you have deliberately avoided my question about the sewing projects!! Forget about them you are far too busy to think about it .......... was in the Pumpkin Patch today with Margaret (new member) buying her Christmas materials to make table mats - very controlled only bought a pack of needles!! Love Jill xx
