We surprised my Mum by turning up in Denmark before her 60th Birthday.
She had a big party where a lot of her friends and family turned up.
While we were there we also got to visit some of my friends and family as well as do a bit of Sightseeing in Copenhagen and Legoland.

Over the Christmas holidays we went for a drive through some of the most scenic parts of Australia.
First we drive down to Melbourne and then along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide.
The sunsets were spectacular.
We then continued up to the Flinders Ranges and along the way had a look at cave paintings.
In Broken hill we went down into the old Daydream silvermine.
We also had a look at some of the Desert Sculptures
Along the way we saw some Australian Wildlife. Here a wombat.
And here a possum.
Lots of Koalas
And here one very angry Lizard.
And of course some Emus.
We were camping along the way.

I went climbing with Andy in New Zealand. We flew onto the glacier at Pioneer hut with a skiplane.
We attempted a couple of peaks in the area but were mainly unsuccessful due to sloshy conditions and late starts. Andy eventually insisted going down after taking a bit of a slide after taking a bit of a slide. We did however get a little bit of climbing done.

Believe it or not, I still have quite a few friends in Denmark. I would like to put photos of all of them here - unfortunately I do not have photos of all of them. If you are one of my friends and your photo is not on this page then please do not despair - I still consider you a friend, and maybe, the next time I go to Denmark, I shall have photos of you all!
Here is one of my best friends in Denmark. This photo was taken quite a while ago, before I came to Australia.
Kenneth is now living here in Sydney, on the beautiful Manly beach - only about a half hour away from me. Kenneth came to stay with me a few months ago. He was trying out a new job, and actually came back! He is going to give Australia a go, to see if he likes it like I do. No more biting winters, lots of warmth and sunshine, beautiful mountains and bush to explore... and I think he has discovered, there are lots of friends to make - especially the pretty fun-going ones with two legs and a skirt! *smile*
He is actually a pretty good cook. Whist he stayed in my apartment for a couple of months, he cooked pot roast with gorgonzola sauce, and also gave a wonderful 3-course dinner for a small group of friends here. About two years after I arrived in Australia, I returned to Denmark for a visit. On the day I arrived in Denmark, he threw together a party for me!
Here is Ester, another one of my friends.
She is a fashion designer and paints some wonderful paintings.
Naturally at parties, there was quite a large amount of beer being consumed (how can you not?? - not possible to have a party otherwise in Denmark.
It was nice to taste one of the annual Christmas beers from Tuborg.

I initially made plans to explore Burma and then make my way across the border into western China at Burma's only border crossing up north. I had not made any definite plans wanted to play it by ear... but in the end my trip consisted of Thailand, Cambodia and restricted areas to Burma.
I was away for a total of 5 weeks and must admit that parts of my trip really frustrated me - there were many restrictions in Burma and being in Bangkok at times stressed me because of all the tourists and crowds. I really only went to Cambodia to see the magnificent Angkor Wat - actually I really did enjoy being there. I think my most enjoyable part of the trip was the days I had climbing on the secluded areas of Krabi.

Whilst I was up north, I watched a rather interesting game of volleyball.
I have never seen such dexterity and agility amongst the players!
It was amazing to see how flexible these guys were.
