Big gap in the blog due to all the electronics breaking, laptop battery, car charger etc etc.Update on the end of USA, week in Cook Islands, 1 week in North Island later.

Richies wedding was great - it was fantastic to be back in Sydney - not much has changed - same as in UK - more cars, more cyclists and more joggers! Great appartment in Paddo - with a full view of the city - that is if it actually stopped raining.

Meeting up with Rachel an old friend from the Tooting days on Monday and then off somewhere up in Queensland.

Thanks to all birthday messages, but CT swears he's not 40 yet - we'll have the do next year!
