It's getting even better! Bigger than Ben Hur. Best mate found about about the trip last night and, hearing that there was only one 3 bedroom unit left, promptly booked it and the flights this morning. Her husband used to be a keen diver but hasn't gone in years, so he's planning on taking a refresher course with one of the other members of the group before we fly out (I'm thrilled by this - I've been nagging him for years to take it up again, as it's obvious he misses it). Her 14 year old son isn't yet certified, but he'll be up for the snorkling part.
She's planning on holding up one end of a local bar, I gather - but has threatened to go fishing!
Two theme songs have already emerged:
Sung to 'Vindaloo':
'Ningaloo!
Ningaloo!
Ningaloo!
Ningaloo Nah Nah!'
And to the Bonnie Doon song from 'The Castle':
'We're going...to Nin-ga-LOO!
We're going...to Nin-ga-LOO!'
