Welcome to Oz...

.... and we've had a warm welcome!

Apologies for not updating this for the last few weeks but we've been very busy being spoilt by loads of folk here. It has been great travelling half way round the world only to arrive here feeling like we have just returned home even though neither of us has been here before.

So before we tell you what we've been up to we must say a special thanks to:-

* Susan & Paul for treating us to a tasty takeaway and nice wine on our first night here (and for letting us dry our washing at their house! - we are still backpackers after all!);
* Rebecca for showing us the sights in Sydney, treating us to cocktails at the Shangri-La and putting us up for the night;
* Stevie, Sandra, Mylo & Ella for having us to stay in Melbourne and treating us to our first Aussie barbie (and for having really cute kids who kept us amused);
* Mark for his amazing tour of Canberra, his beer, his poker skills and not least the largest television in the southern hemisphere which Graham enjoyed immensely.
* Cath, Paul, Emily, Nicholas & Sophie (my ozzy cousins) who have looked after us so well for the last week in Canberra. What can we say - lovely food, great company and very polite children! But most of all we loved having the opportunity to spend some time with them (and Graham enjoyed introducing them to Haggis and addressing it too!). Will miss you x
