About this blog

G'day all

Hope you enjoy, or find interesting in some way, info on our first ever overseas family holiday...travelled & played cricket for 3 weeks thru south-east of UK with 'old boys' team, followed by an excellent 16 days thru Europe with "Trafalgar". Topped it all off with a relaxing few days on Santorini before returning to Oz.

I haven't included all the cricketing goings-on, for fear of boring those of you who have little or no interest in the game.

Our first taste of REAL history....blew our little Aussie minds! Need to go back...

10GB of camera card memory & over 4000 x photos made for a lengthy but unforgettable time, sorting thru them all on our return to Oz!
