Hi again

Well after a very interesting flight which involved us leaving Auckland on Monday morning we arrived at the Tropical isle on Sunday afternoon the day before! Dont ask us how it works we dont get it either. All AL knows is that the weekly budget was shot through with two nights accomadation to pay for the Sunday night!!

Well the island is very beautiful with white sand, palm trees, coconuts, clear water and tropical fish swimming along, we have not explored everything else but are now making use of two mopeds that we have hired fro 8 days. So we feel like young backpackers at last zipping along the islands roads (or should that be road as there really is only one or two) Anyway it helps collect the shopping if nothing else. Before we had to sit a driving test with the local police which was an eye opener to the laid back island life. We had to drive around for 10 mins without crashing and return for a photo. Very laid back.

So we have had a few days of rain I'm afraid to say so we are hoping for soem more brighter days very soon to get the camera out. Not forgetting the big day for Rowan, his 12th birthday on Sunday.

Love from The Bartons
