Should be a good trip. It is Minke whale season, so we hope to see some of those.

I have just finished Duma Key and I must say, I think King is back in his groove.

Well worth a read Muchacho

Kathy and Gerry’s visit (in February!)

My cousin Kathy and and her husband Gerry visited earlier this year. We had a nice meal up on Mount Cootha and then went to the New Farm markets the next morning.

I especially like the 5th picture where Nell and Kathy are buying some snake oil wonder cream!
