There was really no way of predicting the adventure and great fortune that would find us over the next few days… We had just had a pretty wonderful day the day before, going to Railey Beach, but when we got back to the Diamond…
Sorry for the delay in updating our adventure…it’s been a few weeks I think. Our days have been quite busy, and eventful, and Lisa has been working a TON. Good news for us (Lisa Working), because that means we get to keep on travelling.…
