One week in Bangkok

Some quick photos of my Bangkok visit. Sadly being on business you get such a small amount of time to explore the country I am hoping next time I will get to stay a few extra days to explore more of the country as I have been told it is truly beautiful.

Bushwalk around Port Phillip Heads

Work has been pretty intensive so, Frankie, a good friend of mine suggested I should get out of the house and go for a drive. So Sunday rolled around and Sharon and I decided to head up to the heads for a drive along the coast.. Well like the majority of our outings, Sharon and I stumble on an a good place to stop and generally spend a few hours exploring that area. This time we stumbled on Port Phillips Head’s National Park and spent several hours enjoying the extensive views of Port Phillip Bay and exploring the remains of the many old forts / defensive gun’s position’s manned during the world wars against possible sea attacks..

Australian Open 2008

Once a year, Melbourne hosts the Australian Open. Now I am not the biggest of Tennis fans but the prospect of going to watch some of the world’s best is hard to ignore (plus Sharon loves to go) so we usually make a night of it and watch the two night games at the Rod Laver Arena. This year we got to see Davenport VS Sharapova (and yes those grunts are really irritating live) and Roddick VS Berrer which turned out to be a surprisingly good game, not the expected Roddick whitewashing the opposition.

I also took my Canon G9 along to test how it would handle the court lighting and how many blurs I would snap of the ball being hit at the 150+ KM speeds and was pretty impressed at how the G9 handed these demanding situations. (showing it’s true colours as one of the top notch point and click camera)
