Jo & Dan Happy New Year! Thanks to a system of queueing taught to us by our Dutch friends (skipping in front of a thousand people) we were some of the first people into Mrs Macquarie's Point and got the best view for the midnight fireworks. Apparently Dutch people can't queue...works for us! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year! Jo & Dan xxx

Phil Afternoon (well here anyway) - how's Australia - must be nearing the 'grand moment' of the tour. Altogether ... Look into my eyes, you will see ... Shark dutifully put into status report - saw simply splendid shark surrounded by schoals of sersiously scary stupefying seahorses soiled by scaly saddlesore Anyhow - hope it's going well, looks like it is ! Need to send private email - Facebook or hotmail - only 82 days til you're back, you'll be pleased to know we have a countdown on the board, along with a new development of a live ticker on iGoogle - you'd be proud of our ingenuity although the powerpoints have dropped through the floor speak soon, Phil.

Jo & Dan Hello all! We're in Koh Lanta at the moment in the coolest hotel (if you can call it that) ever. We're in huts on the beach, can see the sea from bed and the weather is amazing. All is good today! Jo spent the day sunbathing and Dan went on a dive where he saw a leopard shark, sea turtle and a seahorse! Will update the blogs soon! Jo & Dan P.S Hazel - Fisherman's Cottage is properly back to basics (shower is outside and cold BUT not in a bad way - you'll see when you get here!) but is absolutely stunning. Right on beach and the people are really friendly. Phil - Ah the status reports...almost forgot about those. Can you please add on next week's that I saw a shark - it'll keep Pip pleased at least!
