2006!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

It took 20 staff at the Taj Residency to load this ice sculpture baby on time. Even then there was a risk that the whole thing would melt with temps being so hot! Have to laugh at the swan vegetable carving....the table was covered in them.

We lapped it up at this fancy place for a treat, checking into a suite and joining the festivities out on the lawn (a Jungle theme) stuffing ourselves with every possible indian delicacy on offer on the buffet. Delicious!

Met a really cool family of 4 (the only other foreigners).....with the most balanced, outgoing, intelligent kids and really down to earth parents ever. I was tempted to ask them what their secret was but I think it had something to do with his job as a drugs and alcohol counseller and her a psychotherapist for children and adolescents.

Missing the festivities on the harbour but this is just as cool.

Happy NY to my mates onboard the Love Boat c/off Nessie and Kenny. Wish we were revving it up on the Pacific Princess with youse having a boogie, drinking champers and watching the world's best fireworks on the harbour.

And....a big Happy New Year to my wonderful family...See you in 16 days!!
