Carl and I have spent the last few days training for our open water scuba qualifcation. It has been fun but we have only been in the pool but tomorrow we hit the Great Barrier Reef. Over the last few days they have spotted turtles, whales, sting rays and of course Nemo at the reef. We are doing the advanced course so will be staying on the boat until Sunday so we wont be able to update stuff. When we get back though we will download photos as we have found a place to do it and Carl has been very snap happy. Only 300 or so pictures to bore you with from the first 6 days! Emily I expect you to take me and Carl out on a boat when we get back so we can keep practising our diving!

Our hotel in Cairns is lovely and Cairns itself is very tropical and hot. Lots of tourists though. Geraint you would love it as all the trees are just FULL of giant fruit bats at night.

Mel please make sure harrison still likes Ben 10 when we get home as we have bought him 500 stickers of his hero!

Used all the credit on our phones trying to sort out the house thing and taking calls off "val" from Newydd homes so until we find a way to top it up we cant make or recieve calls or texts.

Hope you are all well back there.
