Belated Honeymoon Update March 2005

After such a wonderful & perfect wedding day we didnt expect anything less from our honeymoon. With only being able to getaway for a week we decided some where more closer to home for this trip.



We flew from Brisbane to Cairns.
First night Sofitel Reef Casino 5 ***** & in 2 words TOP CLASS We were upgraded to a lovely suite, given champagne on arrival & bath robes & slippers to ooze in & did I forget to mention the view... well check out the photos above on your left ....

That night we both dressed in our best for a dinner cruise ... running late of course we ended up hailing a taxi half way down the street & paid him $10 to take us to the wharf ... hehehe it was only another 500mtrs down the road. Silly us.



I must have misread the brochure about it being a 5star dinner cruise ... we were the only ones dressed up & if I may also add I think the only Australians that night. There must have been some Japanes group booking that night :)
Its worth mentioning that the entertainment dedicated a song to us as we were on our honeymoon. That was real special.

Next Off to Palm cove to stay at the Novotel Resort ... Pure Bliss
Nothing ot do but relax by the pool, play some tennis & walk along the beach side overlooking the nearby islands.

Belated Honeymoon Update March 2005


Next day a bus day tour to Port Douglas with a few side trips to an eco lodge & a water cruise to sight some crocs !

After a few days we were off back to Cairns, this time to stay at the then Mercure Oasis Resort.. Now known as the Oasis resort. Adam had the opportunity to catch up with his good mate from high school - Richard Stephens [how are you by the way?]



During this stay we also went on a day trip to fitzroy Island, jet boating to the reef [Ill leave this adventure for another day] & night markets in Cairns.

Coffee !!



Again drinking coffee :) This time at a coffee house near our old apartment back in 2002/2003 in Amsterdam, with my cousins Henk, Hans & Tesse.

Hi Tesse, Can I have your email address again? I am so clumsy & have lost it AGAIN, hope all is well & you have settled into your new place now :)

Big hug to you Hans & Henk xxx Tamara

Denmark December 2005



December 2005... Jetsetting off to Denmark for a long weekend to see my maid of Honour Merethe, Her partner Kenneth & his son Nicklas.

They live in a town called Naestved. Luck must have been on our side because up until now we hadnt seen snow & thought Adam would miss out again! [my poor Adam, he has had terrible luck, missing out on snow storms or any decent snow fall.] Anyways after Merethes'Father in-law picked us up from the airport we were cruising down the highway when it started to snow. Adam was so excited he wanted to get out there & then & feel the snow flakes on his face... It also snowed as we departed the airport back to Amserdam.

Merethe & Kenneth are currently expecting a baby. Thinking of you both :) mwah

Dec 2005 - Holland




Nothing could keep us from adventuring out on this very cold frosty morning in late December 2005. The 3 of us [Henk is taking the photos] went to the zoo....
[sorry henk can you remind me again the name of this place, it has slipped my mind at the present moment].. thanks

Anyways, where was I? Oh yes, we arrived to an empty parking field & walked over the old cobblled stoned roads though the villiage. Upon entry it wasnt long untilwe found the cafe & headed for some coffee & lunch. Hhmmm a big smoked sausage with patatoe & silverbeet mash... Its the best, you really should try it. :)

There were so many animals... most of them looked out of place, like the elephants should have been in a warmer climate dont you think?

The climax of the day would have to be the Butterfly house. I couldnt tell you how cold it was outside, but when we walked inside it almost knocked us off our feet at approx 30 degrees. We were amazed to see the butterflys feeding off pieces of cut fruit that had been left out on feeding trays.

I didnt know they ate pineapples?
