Magnificent Maggie

Two days of relaxation. We needed that. Yesterday Jennie and I got up early to attend the morning radio show. 4TO Mornong Star Steve Price (a man you'd think were on speed because of all his energy) almost choked when Jennie replied "your wonderful smoothies". The question? "What do you like most about Australia".

Kari, on the other hand, later made a slam dunk when she, David and Helena were on the ABC radio a bit later that morning. "Thank you Queensland for giving us such a wonderful time", she ended the show. Now, that's how you make friends with people!

Then shopping was on the agenda, and big spenders David and Kari was having a blast!

Today we visited magnificent Maggie - that is Magnetic Island, for those of you who don't speek the lingo of Townsville (a town which you in the dry season just as well might call Brownsville - the grass won't stay green for long). "Maggie" was absolutely beatuiful, and I think we at last got something of a tan from walking in the sun up and down the mountains. The picnic on the beach wasn't bad either.

Later this evening is BBQ-time. It's a tough life, but someone's gotta lead it!
