Took a ferry trip out to Watson Bay with Kari, Anne, Gisela and Oren today. Walked around a bit, looking at the cliffs, nudist beach (bah - only men), lighthouse and the lively life at the restaurants.

Pictures uploaded in the Galley - Watson Bay

Saw the movie Madagascar at the cinema the other day. Fun movie about a lion, giraffe, hippo, zebra, and some penguins who escape from a New York zoo and ends up in Madagascar - in the wild!

Fun for everybody - not just kids. Just shows that DreamWorks really know how to make animation movies. Run to your nearest cinema and see it today!
