Yes, you are out-of-touch
Hi P& G! Nice story from deep-Indo! It may be an exotic place, but when you mix teenage school group and ancient spiritual surrounds, then the outcome is generally a mix of hormones and selfies; forget the grandeur, miss the iconic, the beauty,... but check yourself in the mirror! To be young and stupid. Cheers, N.

At our age?
Hey Nick, at our age we don't go near mirrors. Head in the sand.

Your secret is out...
I've got to add this to my bucket list. I'm not a surfer...will I be considered an interloper?

Never
I'm sure the owners of the resort won't consider you guys interlopers.

You never go wrong if you quote Monty Python
You can't go wrong if you throw in a Monty Python quote in your blog entry. Thanks for doing that, it made me smile. Because the quote was deliberate, wasn't it? /Ake

Yes the Monty Python reference was intended.
Tennis as a blood sport, who would've thunk it.

The Aussie Open
Each year epic battles, usually the difference between winning and losing is self belief...then the winners of Finals...wow...super human. This years Women's Final was one of the best I've seen...on TV. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been watching it in the stands at Centre Court. I've watched many matches live in Sydney...used to score tickets for the Indoor Finals for many years. I've played White City Centre Court as a kid...played an aging Ken Rosewall years later who whipped me solid . But to be at a Melbourne Aussie Open final...reckon from your blog I've gotta make that a priority. Off the couch and onto Centre Court. See you there next year?

Yeah I'll be there next year.
We usually go for the first week but I'm now keen to go to a final. As for Ken Rosewall, I have spoken to him. Actually he spoke to me. He said, "Thank you ball boys". Yes, I was ball boy at the 1971 NSW Open, which he won by the way. See you there next year.

The Open...a great time.
We had the chance to go to the Open back in 2008 and had a grand time while in Melbourne. Really enjoyed your blog. Here is ours from back then......https://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Victoria/Port-Campbell/blog-237874.html

Sonoma Valley
We've lived in California wine country so we enjoyed reading about the Barossa Valley.

Work work work
Talk about a slave driver. Man you're on holidays and all you can think of is that others have to work work work. Or is it that you love work so much...but only if you can sit and watch it for hours?

Addressing the Imbalance
Delighted to read this tongue in cheek ditty...enough to put off those who can't do beautiful without only thinking of their wallets...enough to entice those who can see through your cunning plan. You can't say too much about how good northern Queensland is or it will be overrun by overseas tourists!!! Much better to keep a few secrets to ourselves I reckon. Beautiful one day...aaah.

Gary and Penny, from the beginning... Again. Round the world for a year in 07 and we've decided it's time once more. So packing up the house, the jobs, selling the cars and up up and away, this time with no return ticket and no fixed itinerary. A smidgin reckless, sure, but what the hell. May as well indulge in a few passions before the last great journey in who knows when. Stay tuned and please stay in contact, cause whilst we love seeing what the rest of the world has to offer, we also love receiving news from home base.... full info
