Farewell Christmas Island



Well the time comes in every journey, when the urge to return home reaches its peak, and so has occurred with us.
This is the last entry from the island.

The island has been a blast, we have done things we couldn't have believed we would do before we came.
  • The kids swimming 200 meters off shore is still something I can't believe occurred.
  • Going into Caves, in the middle of nowhere and finding an electrical  switchboard is another

We have seen some of the most amazing wildlife on the planet, they call this the Indian Ocean Galapagos, and it is true, there are things here you will never see anywhere else in the world.
  • The golden bosum, really is golden
  • The Robber crabs are just so blue you can't believe it
  • The Red crabs are like ants, you can hardly turn around with out stepping on one.

The Island itself is beautiful, and dangerous, on one hand showing off its amazing sights and experiences, and in the other taking away lives on its razor cliffs.
  • The view from the golf course lookout was amazing
  • The fallout from SEIV221 will be long lasting.

The locals where amazing, friendly, and accepting, I wont mention names, but they where all just great, often going out of there way to include us in local activities, thanks guys for all you generosity.

As a family we have all grown (some taller) as we experienced the island and its sights.

So goodbye Christmas Island, we are leaving on a jet plane, don't know when we will be back again.......
