The girls and friends spend their day off getting creative. The brief was to make hats in red/white/blue in celebration of Prince William and Kate's wedding.
Here are a bunch of photos and stories of what we have been up to since moving to Doha, Qatar, in July 2006. Enjoy! Brendan, Samantha, Isabelle, Matilda & Josephine

We've got more waves to catch.
The next hotel in Hikkaduwa was exquisite. Perfect small boutique hotel with excellent service. Plus, the BEST rice & curry in Sri Lanka!

Our daily visitor.
Our last night... boohoo.Saturday, April 09, 2011
Sweet Sweet Lanka - Horton Plains National Park
This morning we took the steep drive up to a national park. Passed lots of rice paddy fields along the way. 
One thing that is noticeable in Sri Lanka is how neat and ordered everything is. The people seem to house proud too. 
One of hundreds of little roadside shops we passed. 
Gorgeous. 
Mooooove. 
Lots of stray dogs in this country. 
Hello Mr Chameleon. 
I'm delighted... here is photographic proof that the girls DO love each other. The sibling rivalry stops for a few minutes and I got it on film! 
This precipice is called "World's End"... sheer drop off into the clouds. 
A lot of species are endemic to this park. So many varities of trees and birds. 
We reached the top! 
Rhododendrons just starting to bloom. 
Baker's Falls 
On the way down the mountian in our van. 
So pretty. 
Well done girls on walking 10 kms with no complaints! Ice cream and local fresh strawberries?
