Khai Just read this again. Brings back some truly wonderful and very happy memories! I can't believe it was over a year ago.

Wili - The first image is just buaetiful. What a buaetiful spot, and lovely composure. I love the exchange of glances in the last shot as well. It looks like the bride has buaetiful style too- I love her dress and necklace- gorgeous!I'm half Swedish and I have quite a bit of family back there, although I have never been. (My cousins have been though.) I plan to go someday. Hopefully on the next trip out I will! I each of my backpacking trips I have eased my way through the language barriers- first trip, English speaking countries, second trip, countries where I had learned the languages, next time totally blind! Ahh! :)

Jaqueline I am so happy for you but in the same breath I am also so aloejus!! Fiji . . . or pretty much any island in the South Pacific is on my bucket list. I love the warm nature of these cultures and would love to visit each and every island that I could.It sounds like you and the kiddos had an amazing time and that is exactly what a vacation should be.Jenn

Jozef Dave Whitney - Hey mate, Finally got a chance to read your blog. Congrats mate and yes i know what it’s like to sfiinh a stage race when you've never done one before and don't know what to expect.Timor did the same for me as the legendary Epic did the same for you (except the epic was another three days longer and maybe 1 or 2 more hills lol). Will have to conquer this race one day mate but how good does it feel to sfiinh and reflect on all the good times. Makes it totally worth it! Congrats again and looking forward to another ride sometime at Nerang. Nice pics too mate.Dave
