hello everyone!

well we're back from our scuba liveaboard trip - it was really really good... hard work, but really good. We are both now qualified PADI Open Water divers, which in a nutshell means we can dive on our own if we want too... though we're probably not ready for that just yet!... the hardest part to the practical was to remove your mask under 18metres of water - leave it off for a few seconds, then replace it and clear the water... it was really scary! living on the boat was fun, we were with a real mix of people. We had a Kiwi a girl from Singapore (who now lives in Oz) and a moany German girl!

we then went out last night to celebrate our qualification... again it was a real eye opener! - basically there were lots of body parts on display... you know what we mean!

Dad - i'm going to try and deal with the bank now - i think someone is trying to use my card though... those listed transactions where not mine! nightmare!

It's my birthday tomorrow... yay! - i'm going to try and call you dad - it will be about 6pm your time midnight our end! so keep an ear out for it.

anyway, thats all for now!
