Hello everybody! We feel like we have been gone for so long now, we cant believe that this time 2 weeks ago we were at work! The flight to Cairns was really good and almost like a sightseeing trip. We flew from Perth to Cairns via Ayres Rock. We didn't actually leave the airport there but we still got a great view of the rock as the pilot took the plane around it so we could all see. Landing in Cairns was pretty special as we flew in over the ocean and could mak...

Just to summarise we have had a great time here but struggled with the heat and jet l...

We are currently at Jo's house and we're all ready for our VERY early morning trip to Manchester Airport - we leave here at 4.30am eek! Thanks Geoff :-) We (well Jo mainly) are starting to get excited now we have got everything sorted and figured out e-tickets, and so all we need is an early night to prepare for an 8 hour time difference in Singapore! Looking forward to...
