Our reason was much the same as yours. It is so close, we kept saying we could go there anytime. We flew over it a lot! Once we got there though we realised what a stunning country it is and we have now been back many times. Its only downside is cost. It is not a cheap destination.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-35000245860774069062017-03-09T06:54:45.357+11:002017-03-09T06:54:45.357+11:00Isn't the earth amazing...it's so strange ...Isn't the earth amazing...it's so strange (though the smell??
