Raheela was back to work today but Ahmed has taken a couple of days off to spend with us. Raheela was up and out early as she's a teacher at an all boys high school a little drive away from their flat. The rest of us got up late and didn't go out until the afternoon again. We drove to one of the beaches on the coast and had a walk towards Bondi beach. We stopped quite often along the way and chatted. James and Ahmed have so much to catch up on. We saw quite a few...

We all got up pretty late this morning, Ahmed and Raheela both have the day off as it's a bank holiday Monday in honour of the queen's birthday. If you ask me this is highly unfair and should be implemented in the UK as soon as possible. We all sat about chatting again before deciding we really should be doing something more constructive.

Even the local people were taking their time to go over the rocks and through the water. We went for it, James was very...

We slept until around 8.00am this morning feeling much more refreshed. We made some coffee and breakfast, then got on our way. We were heading north still to a place called Champagne pools. It was a rocky area with some huge parts of it covered in water, quite deep water. The rock pools it makes have loads of crabs and fish in them.
