Hello Kirk and Andrea!
How are you doing?! I didn’t had the time before too have a look at the photo’s and your beautiful website, but now I’m back, I will have a closer look. Your pictures from the great barrier reef are amazing, even underneath as on the water, beautiful! Maybe is it possible too send a couple of your nicest pictures? I going too make a book of the trip, these pictures seems too make it complete!
Here everything okay, it’s still snowing and cold in the netherlands..
I would like hear if it’s possible!
Thank you!
PS: Sorry for my english!
