Santa Fe, New Mexico 6-7 August

I think I will always remember our time in Santa Fa, not just for the great scenery and buildings or the fact that it was very hot but because we spent an afternoon while we were there "chasing rainbows". On the day we drove to Santa Fe and the next afternoon there were two spectacular thunderstorms.

After running through the rain, changing lenses in the car and driving around town during the storm to try and find the best angle, Daniel managed to capture some great shots in what can only be described as 20 minutes of madness.
















One of the more unusual culinary experiences we have had was eating chili caramel and peanut butter chili truffle’s washed down with traditional Native American hot chocolate (very thick in small tea cups) at the Kakawa Chocolate House. I can’t say I’d have any of these again but our taste buds were certainly invigorated by the time we left.


When we left Santa Fe were were also stopped by the most unusual looking Police Officer. He didn't say much and did eventually let us mooooove on :-)

Las Vegas - 5 August 2010


Our night in Las Vegas was great. We FINALLY got a hotel room with a Strip view and those of you who know the drama with the hotel rooms from our wedding will understand this comment.
We also revisited our favourite restaurant, Aquanox, where we had our wedding reception dinner. Once again the food didn't disappoint with Daniel and I making our way through a dish called the seafood plateau (oyster shooters, prawns, lobster tail, mussels and crab legs) and the best banana split we have ever tasted, it was delicious!

Hong Kong

Our 10 days in Hong Kong was great holiday. It was full of sights, sounds, smells and tastes which we had never experienced before and some of them we never wish to again. Hong Kong is a fantastic city to visit, the people are friendly and there is so much to see and do.

Adelaide Party

In Adelaide on 19 December 2009 we had a party that saw Daniel and I renew our wedding vowles and me turn 30!







It was a great night, made even more special by a visit by the King himself.
