Hi Hope is well and everything Ok, and no summer colds! we are having so much rain, our saving grace was the new see threw sides, thought there was ment to be global warming!

We are about 5 days away from Australia, so getting nervous on reading the books we will be lucky to get out of there alive!

what with the Crocodiles,Snakes,Spiders,Sharks,Box jelly fish, & Cone shells, (we have decided not to go swimming so don’t worry) if there not poisonous

they bite you, knowing my luck I’ll probably get kicked by a kangaroo Ha!Ha! and your worried about flies!

And on entry they confiscate your fresh fruit & Veg, eggs any egg products, meat and dried fruit & honey, so we are having extra portions trying it eat it all up, only got

another 4/5days to go so will get off looking like little porkers!

The weather is a bit better today, so we have all had showers, so feeling a bit cleaner (smell better as well) we saw a ship last night so there must land soon! also flying fish on deck.

Lat-15.44S – Long-157.07E done 705 miles at 5.20am GMT to day 9th August.

Bye for now, Lots of Love Margaret & Alan xxxxx
