Have a great time Chris, certainly a great and challenging itinerary that I am sure you and Jan will make the most of.
Take care, travel safely and pass on my regards to Thomo and Fred. Long time since Freds trip down under for the Rocks run.

Thanks all. We were initially just going to Scotland, but then we decided that seeing it was on the other side of the world what was the point of going the same way over as coming back, so...... simples.
And yes, mostly short trips with a few days in each spot to look around and shorten the bucket list. And rest...

Hopefully, it will have stopped raining in Cairns before we return.  What an itinerary,  have a fantastic time you two  and say 'Hi'  to Fred and Anne from fellow Rocks Run Revellers...!       _________________  Rick Pengilly WEBMASTER Ex-CPOMTH3 R42630 13th MOBI Intake July'62 to July'74 HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Melbourne - HMAS Cerberus - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Lonsdale - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Brisbane
