Fantastic photos. I'm really enjoying following your progress and getting more envious by the day. You'll be pleased to hear that warm weather has also hit England so you'll be topping up the tans this weekend. Don't forget to get out the revision books on the journey home! Mrs Dunsford

It sounds like you are having the trip of a lifetime! The sunshine looks fabulous and you all look very relaxed out there. Hope you are saying thanks to keep the staff going.. they will be ready for a long rest having taken you away at this time of year.
Have fun and stay safe!
