Flying home, sunrise over central Australia


We have now been back in Sydney for a week, and it has absolutely flown by.

While the weather hasn't quite been the summer sunshine that we were hoping for (today it's only 19 degrees!), we've had a great time relaxing at Turramurra, unpacking boxes of things we'd forgotten that we'd sent home along our trip, and playing with Gwil's two nephews - Jackson and Charlie (who was born while we were away).

Gwil even had the chance to dress up as Santa for Jackson's playgroup Christmas Party, and has now decided that he is leaving the landscaping industry to work as Santa for just the one month each year!



Em's returning to her old job at FBi on Monday, while Gwil's still on an island in Vietnam in his head!! One day he'll think about work again. Maybe.

We're looking forward to catching up with everyone in Sydney. We've set up our mobiles, with the same numbers that we had before we left. Hope to see you all soon!

Videos

Here are some videos from the last couple of weeks...

Gwil gets a snake around his neck (and between his legs!) in the Mekong Delta.


Getting hassled by the kids outside Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia. "You buy from meeeeeee. Three for one dollaaaaaaah".
We now have far too many bracelets after buying some from each of them!


Daz talks Gwil through eating a scorpion


A beach we spent an afternoon at, on a tiny island south of Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. It had crystal clear water, and sand that was so white and fine it looked like flour. You could only get here by boat, so there was hardly anyone on the beach.



ps. They're expecting Typhoon Durian to reach the coast of Vietnam tonight, but it's north of Ho Chi Minh City, so shouldn't affect us. We hope that it won't do any damage in the areas that it hits.
