Leaving Oz

So just a few pics from the whitsundays which were only developed the other day… as it was an underwater camera. They came out kinda blue! but the lady in the shop told Mhairi that they were some of the best she’d seen off a cheapy disposable camera.. who knows – Anyway here they are..

Yesterday had a proper wander around Freemantle, really is a nice place. Mostly eating ice-creams and lazing on the grass reading books.. then back via Kings Park – where I had a wander through the botanical gardens and a short walk.. and Mhairi went off on a run. She managed to find ‘Jacobs ladder’ a staircase (100 odd steps or something). So she did it 12 times or something.. apparently there were other nutters doing it too ;) hehehe… No it’s all good, but I’ve been enjoying (Quite a lot) being lazy the last few days, I think Asia will be hectic enough.

I (stupidly) forgot to sort out my jabs before leaving NZ.. I think I’m pretty up to date on them all though typhoid is coming to the end of its life (I got jabs for vietnam 3 years ago – or 4 perhaps.. still, hopefully twill all be ok.

So one day left before flying to Hong Kong. I was going to try to have a couple of days there but it didn’t quite work out that way. Now I get in at 8pm and leave at 2pm the following day, so will try to check bags through and go for a wander around town. Then meet Mhairi again in Bangkok on Wednesday. Somewhere on the Khao San road most likely!

So thanks (big thanks) to Domhnall for having us to stay – it was magic getting to climb, and just being able to have the run of his place.. wonder where (and when) the next time I’ll see him!
