The second half of our trip, we stayed at an island resort. Think blue skies, sunny beaches and crystal clear blue water, and you'll get the picture.
#5 - One of the islands from the ferry
#6 - View from the jetty
#7 - Beach on a rare, overcast day
#8 - Infinity pool

Looks fantastic Jules. I hope you had a great time.
I'm sick of winter already. Did you bring some of that weather back with you?

Great place Jules - I wish I was there - but too far to swim. I am too afraid of sharks :0

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments!
Adrian, I got a shock when I stepped off the plane back in Australia at night - going from 30+ degrees C (86 F) to 4 degrees C (39 F) was a bit of a rude welcome back...
Pavel, apparently you can swim with the sharks there... although I wasn't game to try it out.

Great photos, Jules.
My wants a purse size camera with a viewfinder that delivers good results, and I've been steering her towards the X10. Its nice to really see what it can do.

These look fantastic. They make me jealous, and I'm in the middle of my best month of the summer right now. That pool in particular is almost enough to make me think that swimming might be a fun thing to do.

Thanks Rob and Matthew...
Rob, I find I've been using the viewfinder less and less though - because I find it too inconsistent in framing. Also, if there are multiple subjects in the frame you don't know which the AF has locked on, and run the risk of getting a sharp background and blurry subject.
I only use it in difficult situations in harsh sunlight, or if I feel like just capturing a quick snapshot.
