Sorry about the layout with the last post, not sure what happened, keep scroling down there are just big gaps between everything





FIJI BABY FIJI................

One small island in the pacifcic, two litres of vodka, a cheap bar, snorkerling, and sun bathing.... what else could you ask for.

Here's a shot of Carley on the beach, these Kiwi's can't take the heat!! Behind her is the bar, not a bad size for an island you can walk round in 20 mins.















Apparently this island is where they film the reality show treasure island, you could go on a boat time but we just never found the time...... ops























Just relaxing before dinner.










. mmm I wonder where the vodka has gone














A typical view on our balcony between 6 and 9, life is tough, unfortanlty we did not manage a picture of our gecco Geoff


We did make it to the bar for the cultral evening, somehow I don't think any of these guys are feathery stroker's ......................
















Carley with one of the loverly 12 years olds that was staying on the island too........



We think it was this chap that was responsible for the rephaseingof rock on, to Cock on...............French!?!










Homeward bound, we thanked the hotel for the bottle of wine 30 mins before our boat left!! Nice geasture we though!!!


Carley a bit the worse for wear after having to neck a bottle of wine.... well its rude not to drink it all.
Sorry forgot to turn this round and now don;t care, turn your head.




Final sunset over beachcombers resort.

Last morning in Fiji breakfast, vodka and orange, ice lollies and pringles, well if the hotel could serve finsh and chips for breakfast why could we not have ice lollies,
Not the best shot of me, I'll put some of the snorkoling pictures on when I get them from carley.
Sunny Melbourn!!

A nice quiet weekend in OZ............... NOT







It all started well with a bit of sight seeing round the city. This is me on a bridge in the city (don't kow the names sorry)




Slowerly it all starts to go wrong...





Chocolate martines......... thanks Jem good find


The girls manage one last day on the piss, (hence the classy photo in a taxi), Adam however curles up with his best friend............... and he said he hated the cat??

I went to my first kiwi wedding this weekend. The wedding was nice a quick, about ten mins (good), then it was on to the reception, good food, free booze (nice) luckly they did the cutting of the cake a speechs before the meal so I remember all of the important bits. (makes a change)
I decided to dress up the occasion and prove to the world that I am a girl really.
Here's a picture.....


Mum and Dad in New Zealand



Mum and Dad came to visit for a month. Before I made them help me move house, and fix all the small problems, I let them have a weeks holiday to see some of New Zealand.....



Here's mum and Dad in the craters of the moon geo thermal area.


Dad exiting the float plane we took for a trip over Rotorua




The volcantic creature of mount rotorua

Here's a couple more pictures of a few other thermal area's we visited.

Here's apparently a dimond geyser, unfortuantly it did not want to play while we where there. (no sign of yogi either)

I've got a kitten. He's 5 weeks old and very small hope I don't stand on him or loose him in my house... I've only had him an hour, so do not have name, ideas anyone.

He seems to like the camera though and moans when I leave the room. Hope he gets over that.


Nosey cat!!
