We have been in New York for three days now and have already done lots of sightseeing so we thought we would do a short blog to let you know what we have done so far. I can see why people fall in Love with New York. The people are friendly, transports is easy, the weather is dry and there are countless sights to see, far more than can be done in a little over a week.

We also took a drive to Bondi Beach and although we didnt see any rescues (which to be honest I was hoping we would) the bea...

Just to warn you I (Claire) am writing this blog and as I have the reputation of going on a bit shall we say you may want to think about getting a cup of tea and a sandwich before you settle down to read on! We arrived in Perth on 23 August 2008 with thankfully no troubles at all. The Apartment is ok and is good for what we need. Mind you when we got here very early in the morning we still did a quick spider check, which involved lifting furniture,even though t...
