Another conference, another perfect opportunity to visit more of our vast home state. This time the beautiful beach side town of Broome, in Western Australia’s north west.

Struggling for ways to spend five days in Tuscany ... no probably not ... but anyway here's some highlights as we see them.
As we took our seats our Waiter informed us "this is not a Three Michelin Star restaurant but this is a traditional restaurant, we serve local food and local produce". It seemed a rather self deprecating way to introduce their Restaurant. But for us, L'Hosteria del Castello di Verrazzano provided one of those highly memorable days that we will reminisce about for many years to come.
We are presently in Tuscany, Italy, consuming copious amounts of Chianti Classico, ultra fresh pasta, sweet salumi, formaggio and of course grappa, all in celebration of our dear friend, Lucy and her latest life milestone!

We are about to set sail in our little motor boat, the Liz III, from Lizard Island’s main resort beach, off to explore Turtle Cove on the island’s southern coast. The boat is all ours – no co-passengers, no skipper, no guide.

What can we say about Vancouver other than, the food is awesome! Oh and it rains ... a lot! But don't let that hold you back, we didn't, British Columbia is stunning, largely in part, because of all that rain.

Borobudur, on the Indonesian island of Java, has been high on our to do list of ancient site visits for a number of years, particularly after visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia. While it is not as extensive as the sprawling complex of Angkor Wat, the opportunity to climb on to the world's largest Buddhist Temple, in order to experience a spectacular sunrise, was a highly anticipated adventure.
