Its been a great trip with many hightlights along the way - take a look the photos! The Ningaloo Reef was part of this trip but we was too excited and put the photos on the last blog

What a beautiful photo! When you are old and wrinkled, you\'ll be so happy you took the photo and reminisce with fond memories. Life goes by in a flash..speaking from experience.
