Have a good "different" Christmas and New Year. The photos are magnificent. Keep soaking in the experiences now, so as you can squeeze out the memories later.

Managed to upload all the photos from India (well all the best ones anyway). We'll try and put captions on them in the next week or so to explain them. Hope everyone is well.

Finally we have an answer on teh elephants...
Both male and female African elephants have large tusks that can reach over 3 m (10 ft) in length and weigh over 90 kg (200 lb). In the Asian species, only the males have large tusks. Female Asians have tusks which are very small or absent altogether. Asian males can have tusks as long as the much larger Africans, but they are usually much slimmer and lighter; the heaviest recorded is 39 kg (86 lb).

Thanks to Wikipedia for ending the great elephant debate.

Hiya. Thanks for the brithday wishes. Had a few beers and a bbq in the rain! Really, the Aussies go on about how great their summers are, but so far it's been just like home! It gets hotter the further north you go, so bring on the new year!!

Howdy all! THought we would stop by to see how it is all going? Nice picies. Happy Birthday Nikki, hope you had a Fabulouso (apparently great just wasn't good enough!) day.

Happy Birthday Nikki!! Hope you have a fab day!! x

Sorry about the typos in the last message. Too much "black nectar" last night.

I want a stick of rock too. Oh, and by the way, om ome of your photos you asked for clarification about how to sex an elephant. I,m sure that the tusks have SOMETHING to do with it. But here's a better clue. Forget the tusks. Just look at the OTHER end. Really!! I am surprised that honeymonners have to ask such a question.

Ah yes the boy! Nice to see Wes, that you are still a man of many words! All of them rubbish though, but we wouldn't expect anything less. Hope you're well crow. Make sure you have a pint for us at xmas!! And be sure to do lots of dancing. Get those moves out!
