This page needs no comment,…. but I will do it anyway.  Now officially of the bucket list:  Sydney Bridge at midnight of the New Year!

The hours before (we reserved a nice dinner…)

and at midnight:

Nanne’s Christmas gift:  idyllic Island, bikes and sunshine!

Did about 40KM, and had time to play on the beach

Rottnest Island is off the coast of Perth.

Christmas day, it is official, Leendert is taller than Mom! Christmas diner is a blast!

O how fun it is at Oom Nanne’s – In Perth people go with Christmas hats to the beach for a swim,.. and a splash

A 2 hour aboriginal painting class arranged by Heidi. Great experience wonderful thing to do.  Afternoon was school work followed by the usual swim.

the Bilboa pool…

Today we got to go painting. Not just painting but painting like an aboriginal. We only had three colors. They each represented something. Yellow was sun, red was dirt and white was water.all turned out wonderfully beautiful and still look that way (even though dad had sprayed them to make them prettier and made them a foggy white), yes, the still look WONDERFUL.

We sailed to Snapper Island (beautiful) and no one but us.  We did the snorkelling, which had nice corals, but the water was a bit milky (we are soooo spoiled).

The brochure showed a nice sunset return… but Alicia had more fun!

 get dad wet! 

where it happened?

A regular working day in pictures (Alicia Focussed). School in the apartment, short exit to the pool, visit to the local wildlife habitat, Alicia Skyping with AIS  Vienna. BBQ in the evening. Nice and easy.

The rest of the family at the Habitat.

This just the download of the distance and place travelled…

This to show what we did….: The boat, pre-scuba, Scuba, Snorkel and (of course) post water-sport!

QUESTIONS?

Good morning in the HWH  (Heidi Worldwide Highschool) followed by a visit to the wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas…. wonderful!
