Helen: Went kayaking and camping at the weekend. Lots of fun, even for a self confessed non-camper, although I could have done without the Aussie strength mossies. They were even biting me through my clothes the bastards. Now have bright red welts on my backside. Not a good look when I was trying on bikinis in Bondi yesterday (you should have seen the look on C's face as he waited paitently in the shop. Didn't know where to look - even I was a bit bemused by all the gazillions of different styles of swimming costume there are out there. Sadly the only bikini I liked that wasn't 3 triangles of material held together with some floss was $150. $150!!)
Going to the zoo today to see koalas ("but we can see koalas in the zoo at home" from you know who) and maybe even a platypus. And then maybe to see the Star Wars exhibition at one of the local museums. Apparently they have a weightlessness simulator...
Not much else to report - have mostly been relaxing at Al and Hazel's house - catching up on admin/practising guitar (C is getting pretty good at Johnny Be Good) and I've started making another dress - was getting bored and tetchy - nothing like a good sew to sort me out.
Our boat arrives tomorrow and we sail at midnight on Friday. Very exciting. Al has lent C a shirt with a collar so that he stands a chance of being fed in the restaurants on board (although, it is a hawaian shirt!)
Hxx
PS still no decision on how we're getting home - the bloody Russian embassy here won't give us visas (long story - basically we have to go back to London to get them) so it looks like we might have to fly from Mongolia to Europe and then catch the ferry from Estonia or Denmark or somewhere like that. Hope to have it sorted this week - will let you know!
