Billy really enjoyed Ankor Wat in Cambodia: great people, history and the unexplored feel of the Jungle.
Jo recently spent time in Paris, loved wandering through the streets and gardens, eating macaroons and the great views from the top of the Arch de Triomphe. Watching the traffic going around the roundabout below is very entertaining!
Ange has recently visited Adelaide, where there were many delicious moments, including rocking up to many Cellar Doors and tasting the amazing Barossa Valley Wines and even making her own blend of Shiraz at Penfolds Winery. Her best adventure however was cruising down the Murray River on an Unforgettable Houseboat – “it’s like a floating 4 star hotel with all the comforts of home”. What a delight having a barbeque tea on the back of the houseboat, listening to great music with friends and then docking along the river for the night relaxing under the stars
