I still wont be home until October, but up until now I have only had a one-way ticket. I hadn't realised how unsetteling it was not to know when I would be coming home, but it feels nice to know when exactly I will be coming back to Blighty - even if it is in the middle of winter.
But in the meanwhile it's all about Australia. I've been trying to culturally prepare: I've been drinking lots of beer; I took a surfing lesson; and I dyed my hair blond(er).
This latter attempt at cultural adaption didn't go quite as planned. Of course I was already blond (definatley not 'mousy'... possibly 'dirty blond' if you wanna be picky), but I had some roots showing & thought that a hairdresser in Bali may be able to help. They helped by bleaching my hair so much it turned orange!
It's washing out a little now, but it's still quite extreme. But I guess as I wont be working for the next four months I can take advantage & settle into life as a typical ozzie blond!

More like 'orangie' does Cadburys!?
Well your course is set true now mate, whatch your depth and may a fair wind waft you on your way through ever-calm, warm and friendly waters - and for gawds sake, keep that impressive upper deck of yours shipshape and uncluttered Whitters (to readers generally, that's not meant what what you may think it to mean, rather it's a very clever 'in joke' just for the Whitters women!

Yuk! Our daughters been tangoed!!!
Still I suppose it gives her an extra warmth, just as long as it doesn't effect that cruising luxury upper deck (does it have a balcony??)
Great news of the homeward voyage, especially to be escorted by a loyal premium crew member and not a plundering Bali pirate!
