Shark Bay scenic quad bike tour

After exploring Shark Bay from the sea we decided we ought to see it from the hills and cliffs too. So we set off on a quad bike tour of the whole area with a guide. It really didn't disappoint; the views were amazing, and it proved to be really good fun too!
And... we finally saw some sharks! :-) They were reef sharks which meant they weren't dangerous at all so we even got to go in the water with them.

This week's wallpaper just had to be orange as tomorrow we will be celebrating 'Koninginnedag' here in the Netherlands. It's going to be a really special one as Queen Beatrix will be passing the crown to her son, Willem-Alexander. 

On this special day everyone will be wearing orange, the colour of the royal family.



P.S. I just realised I haven't posted anything since last Monday... weeks go by waaay to fast!! :-)

Sunset cruise

An afternoon on the Shotover

Not only did we get to spend a relaxing afternoon on the water, we also marveled at wild dolphins, sharks, sea snakes and turtles. Such a special and beautiful cruise!

Happy birthday me!

 
It's my birthday today! :-) 

I received the sweetest birthday message early this morning from my brother Mathieu who spelled my name with photos of my beloved little nephew... isn't it just adorable?

I'm a very lucky girl: I received dozens of messages and phone calls from all over the world. And I spent the day with Mart and with my mum who is visiting from Switzerland; my first birthday as a married woman was a truly wonderful one!
