Turns out that if you don't add the photos for a blog entry in exactly the correct order, there is no way that you can then switch them around. (At least no way that "computer-retard-Erin" can figure out, anyway)<br />So, as a result these photos are all in reverse-chronological order (except the swan photo above which should really have gone at the bottom)... so I suggest starting at the bottom of the post and moving upward. I'm going to write the captions from the bottom up so it will definately help if you want them to make sense.<br />Anyway, the whole trip was actually 'work' for Casper because he needed to visit some of the camps that were running. Luckily I got to tag along and suddenly it was a holiday. YAY!

They were also very very funny to watch.</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span></div>Erin&Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193092871729478103noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061415744317068716.post-51065990214436066402007-01-09T19:57:00.000-08:002007-01-09T20:00:36.715-08:00Comments<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just letting you know that we've changed the settings so that you can now leave comments... which is a nice way to keep in touch if email is too much hard work.<br /><br />Also, if you want to have a closer look at some of the photos you can click on them and they will enlarge.<br /><br />More updates once we're back from our Albany/Bussleton/Bremer Bay trip.<br /><br />Love to all.<br />Erin and Casper.<br /></span></span></span></span>Erin&Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193092871729478103noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061415744317068716.post-91798045629600326582007-01-09T19:27:00.000-08:002008-12-11T05:55:44.816-08:00The Boat Shed<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">Mum, Dad, Casper and I also had an early-morning breakfast at the Boatshed Cafe. I was quite excited when I saw a very beautiful pelican, so I announced "PELICAN!!!!" to the rest of the restaurant (luckily there was only one other person in there) and then I leapt over the restaurant railing and ran after it with my camera. I love pelicans!!! YAY!

It was very convenient timing because I was in need of holiday company. Along with days of cleaning , vacuuming and steam cleaning our house to try to get rid of allegy-causing nasties, Mum and I did a lovely day walk in Kings Park. It was blue, clear and sunny. I enjoyed watching the ducks sprinting down the hill with their little legs! The banksia garden was also beautiful.

We spent Christmas with family and friends. A big feast overlooking the ocean and a cryptic treasure hunt thanks to Sue and Mum.<br />Next year we are planning on following some Polish Christmas traditions, with a meal of dill potatoes and fish on Christmas Eve and we will climb the hill to watch the first star come out. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">By the time New Years came around, everyone else had left so we had a lovely relaxing, quiet few days. I planned to take alot more photos but I was too distracted relaxing in the hammock, or snorkelling in the bay, or reading, or fishing or whatever else I happened to be inclined towards. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">We had an incredible day walking to the other end of the island and managed to catch ourselves eight very fat fishes!! Mostly they were black drummers. We also found another little fishing hole with just sweep and wrasse biting. Good to know for next year! We wont even need to take food!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I did a few days of early morning yoga with a holidaying yoga instructor. Casper slept in on those days. But some days we did have lovely early morning walks and cups of tea before the rest of the island awoke. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It was so nice to be back there again. As I get on the boat to leave, a part of me always stays behind. See you next year, old friend. </span><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn_W5l1O4I/AAAAAAAAAF8/NxLGlZwC8Mo/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+126.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn_W5l1O4I/AAAAAAAAAF8/NxLGlZwC8Mo/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+126.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015320428935461762" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Mac's Jetty<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn-qZl1O3I/AAAAAAAAAF0/qxsIIGdIzMw/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+089.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn-qZl1O3I/AAAAAAAAAF0/qxsIIGdIzMw/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+089.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015319664431283058" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">The bay at sunrise<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn-IZl1O2I/AAAAAAAAAFs/NDJde1kBNFM/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+125.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn-IZl1O2I/AAAAAAAAAFs/NDJde1kBNFM/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+125.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015319080315730786" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192); font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">Pacific gulls<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn9k5l1O1I/AAAAAAAAAFk/niGGxJ3FbNE/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+175.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn9k5l1O1I/AAAAAAAAAFk/niGGxJ3FbNE/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+175.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015318470430374738" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-family:verdana;" >Our beautiful little fishing spot<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn8z5l1O0I/AAAAAAAAAFc/ykCepRvKlN0/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+145.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn8z5l1O0I/AAAAAAAAAFc/ykCepRvKlN0/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+145.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015317628616784706" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192); font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">On the hilltop<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn5upl1OyI/AAAAAAAAAFM/TaY9iYEC_RE/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+234.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZn5upl1OyI/AAAAAAAAAFM/TaY9iYEC_RE/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+234.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015314239887588130" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">Erin won the "who can get the biggest fish" competition.

Then Casper went away on Servants for a week and I slept over for a night at their house. I spent most of my time trying to take photos of their cats. Morris (pictured) was VERY co-operative... I think he must have been a celebrity cat in one of his past lives because he certainly loved the camera. Sylvester (not pictured at all) was slightly less helpful. Every time I thought I had him, he managed to run right out of the frame as I was taking the shot. </span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZnecpl1OhI/AAAAAAAAACA/fBQ7hJnpTfs/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+091.jpg"><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZnecpl1OhI/AAAAAAAAACA/fBQ7hJnpTfs/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+091.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015284243835992594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZndt5l1OfI/AAAAAAAAABw/BH40L7F11LE/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+090.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZndt5l1OfI/AAAAAAAAABw/BH40L7F11LE/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+090.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015283440677108210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZndVpl1OeI/AAAAAAAAABo/IY4qM4TtiEo/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+088.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZndVpl1OeI/AAAAAAAAABo/IY4qM4TtiEo/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+088.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015283024065280482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZncpJl1OdI/AAAAAAAAABg/Hq1xxmgBHpY/s1600-h/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+085.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LB72tR8jYC0/RZncpJl1OdI/AAAAAAAAABg/Hq1xxmgBHpY/s320/Freo,+Capel,+Broome,+Woody+085.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015282259561101778" border="0" /></a>Erin&Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193092871729478103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061415744317068716.post-2905966485932229182007-01-01T17:36:00.000-08:002008-12-11T05:55:54.338-08:00Broome<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >These are photos from our trip to Broome last year. We had lots of fun with Fiona on the days she wasn't working. She gave us some excellent soap on arrival along with a 7-page "welcome to Broome letter". We did a wonderful day at Port Beach and an early morning walk to Gantheum point, where it got very hot and we were luckily rescued by the town's harbour master who drove us back to town in his air conditioned car. We had a lovely morning at the Broome markets, and one night at the old Broome outdoor cinema where we watched an incredibly moving Indigenous film called "Kanyini".<br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-family:verdana;" >The rest of the time, Casper and I explored on some very rickety old borrowed bicycles.
