Home from Fiji

I may be back in Oz but i think my mind is still in Fiji, this is taken from Malamala island (6 acres of uninhabited island near where they filmed 'Castaway') looking back at mainland Fiji. Beautiful snorkelling.

Dave "Fabio" Cox

Fi says that sometimes she feels like she is dating Fabio, I think she might be referring to my (lack of) hair cut, but i like to think it something else... I can see the resemblance, can't you?
"the most beautiful man in the cosmos" !!!! HA HA HA

Get your Zombie On!

Well for those who were a little confused as to why all the city streets were packed with masses of Zombies, Saturday was "the international day of the Zombie".... hmmm.... I thought it hysterical that on the same weekend Finland won the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens with (there somewhat unconventional song and appearance) "Hard Rock Hallelulia". I hoped the Ukraine would win, but thats just coz of her skirt and boots !....
GGGOOO ZZZOOOMMMBBIEESSS !!!!!

Photos from Adelaide



Got home last night after 3 nights in Adelaide, not that we spent too much time there, Friday night after an 8 hour drive we suffered the "no selling of alcohol" rule in SA on good friday... AAHHHH..... saturday we went out to my favorite vineyard in the world 'D'arenburg', we "tasted" everything and bought 7 bottles... nice... afterward was a few stupid photos and picnic in the vineyards... then a few drinks in town, sunday we were up in German town Hahndorf for a bunch of beers follwed by cocktails in town... and then the drive home on monday. Fun trip all round.

Apparantly it will have been 1 year since i took her out for a "drink" the first time... so i guess this makes in an anniversary... hmmm.... anyway... D'Arenburg Wines here we come !
