Back in the UK safely, although our body clocks are taking a while to adjust.
Did a second introductory dive, after Pen decided she wanted to give it a go - even better. Fiji was lovely and relaxed, which was exactly what we wanted. Sun, beach, cocktails, happy friendly staff - bliss. Trip home was long and boring and tiring, so pretty much as expected.
I'll do a full write-up at some point, but this week I have to concentrate on a presentation for an interview at Luton on Monday.

Highly enjoyable time away so far.
Singapore very humid - much time spent in air-conditioned shopping centres. Night Safari was excellent.
Melbourne was much the same temperature as England before we left, but sunnier. Lots of wineries to taste at. Got to feed wallabies and kangaroos and saw the little penguins coming ashore at duck at Philip Island. Very good to spend lots of time with my sister. She and Penny got on very well
Cairns is excellent (sat in internet shop here at present). Went out to Oyster Reef and Upolu Cay yesterday and got to do an "Introductory Dive" on the reef - absolutely spectacular and my highlight so far. Quiet day today, then we're going up to Kuranda tomorrow (on the longest cable car in the world - ulp!) and out to the edge of the reef on Friday (Agincourt Reef).
Saturday's another quiet day, then we're off to Fiji on Sunday.
