Description and photos from walking a 99km section of the Larapinta Trail and then a quick car tour to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Watarrka. (Ayers Rock, The Olgas and Kings Canyon respectively.)

David's brother Andrew has been over from Australia and they took off to Italy for 5 days in the Veneto and the Dolomites. David acted as official translator for the first time in Italy. Bravo!

Unfortunately, photographic duties fell to Andrew as David left the battery to his camera in London.

Only a short trip to see Danielle's sister Miki & her friend Noni in Panzano, Chianti, Italy. A great weekend; the scenery lived up to the picture-postcard hype and we enjoyed our delicious meals and wonderful service at Viscovino, the restaurant where they are working.

28 May - 4 Jun 05

A week in Sicily with our great friends: Damo & Ceri. We stayed in a wonderful fattoria agriturismo in the mountains and only a short drive to the beautiful coastline. There was lots of driving along windy mountain roads, during which we amused ourselves scoring points spotting, Nonnas (5), Men in Flat Caps (5), Men playing cards (10), Shrines (5), Luppos (Wolves - 50) and Mafiosa (100).

Check out the picture of the kitten and ask one of us about the story.

Too much of David's birthday seemed to be spent in Heathrow Airport, but we did make it eventually to Prague and fell in love with this beautiful city.

Our cycling holiday in the Castille and Leon region got off to a wonderful start. Then David bucked his bike, broke his collar-bone, and all plans were on hold. Despite it, we get to experience some of Madrid — and there's worst places to get stuck in for a few days.

You can't really complain about London being cold when the continent really suffers.  However, it does make you want to get into the local traditions, as we discovered in Munich.

Hard to believe it has been four years since our wedding!  However, we continue to give up gifts to each other, and instead splurge on weekends away.  This year, it was Rome

A snowy Stockholm proved to be a chilly, captivating and refreshing weekend away.

A disappointing result and non-alcohol beer couldn't spoil a great trip to Paris, joining several Eurostar-loads of fellow Australians in sharing culture with the French.

5-7 Nov 04

We went to The Hague for the weekend with Charlotte to visit good Bangkok friends: Tracey and Jon
