Brian Hi Baby, I have had a chance to look at all the pics now and what is with the random carona salt and pepper shakers? Also who is doing the dodgy photo taking as it looks like someone had a bit too much wine whilst taking the photos. But even with the dodgy photos whitsunday looks amazing and so does singapore. Sorry to hear about the hostel in Brisbane i bet you were glad to get out of there! Hope Gemma didn'yt get flea bitten too much. Hope all you girls are behaving yourselves. Only joking and i hope you have many more great adventures out there. I really wish i was there now as i am quite stressed out with loads of things before i go to Cyprus.
