We always knew that at the end of our African honeymoon, we would want some beach time. I considered the Seychelles, or even Mauritius. But the place that made the most sense was an island in Tanzania, which would be far cheaper and easier to get to as we were there already.

Photo Friday: Beaches Of Australia
I've had a week of throwbacks to Australia this week, which was started by a friend on Twitter asking people to post their favourite beach photos.

All Aboard The Freight Train: Sailing The Whitsundays
Sailing the Whitsundays was one of my most anticipated activities in Australia - sailing through paradise islands just invokes romantic pictures, doesn't it? Not to mention the unbelievably picturesque Whitehaven Beach that's become an icon of Australia.

Christmas In Australia: When All Your Plans Go Wrong
Christmas was planned for us back in September, when a friend invited us to spend it with him and his parents in Noosa, just north of Brisbane. They'd be hiring out an apartment for the week and we were welcome to join them over Christmas and spend it on the beach.
