re: Luxuriating at the Azur LodgeRobin and Glenna For all interested readers, we will be publishing (actually the website will publish) a copy of this blog, including photos and your comments, so we'd be grateful if you would post your thoughts and comments on the blog so they can be captured. Love to you all, robin and glenna
re: Launceston, Tasmaniamother do you really want to come home? what a wonderful trip and the blog is great....are you keeping a copy or do you want me to print it all out for future dreaming? love
re: Launceston, TasmaniaLouise Good old Australian hospitality!
re: Shop in Cook, WAGlenna Thanks for all your comments, we're so pleased that our blog is being read. When we're finished, it will be put into an album for us along with all the photos, so hopefully you'll all forgive us if we are a bit long-winded. The album will also include all your posted comments, so keep them coming... Kirsten, shopping has occurred, but not on a grand scale, as we're trying not to add alot of weight and bulk to our already overweight luggage. So I'm keeping in mind the adage that good things come in small packages! Lots of love to everyone, Glenna
