Petra's visit
Have a look to the wonderful photos from Petra's visit in July.
Petra stayed with us from July 3 2009 until ... tomorrow ! We hiked in Ku-Ring-Gai NP, had an incredible whales watching trip from Palm Beach.
Then we took off for a 4 days trip to the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island. Where you don't even need to snorkle or dive (though we did that as well :-) ) to see marine life. Eagle rays and sharks are swimming at your feet , not more than 2 meters from the beach shore at high tide! We snorkled and dived and enjoyed a lazy life at the resort. We also had 2 extraordinary first-times helicopter flights to Heron Island and back to the main land... Awesome!
We completed the journey with some quite sportive hikes in the Blue Mountains over the week-end where we stayed at the Fairmont Resort, enjoying its nice spa& pool facilities. On the first hike we climbed down and up more than 2000 steps all together ! (Petra counted !!!).
T'was a great winter break , thank you Petra!
