Back to reality

Just a short post as I'm too tired from my first day back at work to write much, but we are back from our winter get away to Exmouth and had a fantastic time. Although please never let me commit to that big a driving trip again! For my US friends, although Exmouth is only half way up the state of Western Australia, the drive is the equivalent of driving from New York to Iowa - on some pretty nasty roads!

We had a wonderful time away, besides the two day drive to get there, we went to the beach lots, the weather was perfect - 26 degrees without a cloud in the sky every day. We even got sunburnt! We went on an all day tour to visit the Cape Range National Park and I was lucky enough to go snorkelling on the Ningaloo Reef at Turquoise Bay which was incredible! We spent lazy days just relaxing by the hotel pool and eating yummy food. It was nice to spend some quality time with Murray, just the two of us away from the rest of the world.

And now for some pictures!

A photo of us :-)


Charles Knife Gorge
An amazing sight to see. Apparently there have been a number of tsunamis over the years that have filled these canyons with water - how scary!

Coral Bay
Lookout just outside of town - how beautiful does the water look!

Mini Golf!
Murray and I have a tradition that on all our getaways we play a game with a very sexy wager - this time a full body massage with extras *nudge* Luckily we one one game each on our trip!
