Honeymooners, A Wet Wedding and R & R from Iraq

I continue to meet a lot of honeymooners who have chosen our country for their special holiday. This week I talked to an Italian couple and UK couple who both had a great time 'Down Under'.

There was also the UK lass who had come with friends to attend a wedding in Noosa and a few days in Byron Bay. Unfortunately they struck the wettest few days there in some time so the wedding had to be brought indoors. But a good time still had by all.

I also came across a US soldier who was in Sydney on an 'R and R' break from his term of duty in Iraq and a Swiss women and her daughter who raved about their great travel experience in Broome and the Kimberleys region. It reminds me of so many parts of this huge country that overseas visitors explore but most of us locals have never been near.

There are students from all over the place in NSW these days. I met a couple from Saudi Arabia at the weekend. Other visitors of note were a fellow from Vanuatu who had a couple of nights in Sydney in order to obtain his Swiss visa, the young Italian backpacker who had been in Central Australia and Sydney and was so sad to leave and a nice elderly UK lady who was here to visit her son and 5 week old grandson.

Till next time.
