Hey peeps….!

We motored up to Canberra today.. Australia’s capital.. Not much different really… same old same old.. BUT! We did find a veggie restaurant with so many dishes I couldn’t decide what to eat… brilliant.!

Then we met Pete (another relative) and went to the Golf club for dinner, and play “pokies” which are basic fruit machines… Now I thought when in Rome etc, so stuck $20 in a machine and hey ho… out comes $2896 dollars…! WHO DA MAN… Just for your exchange rate info… Thats about £1000!!!! Guess my excess luggage is sorted!

Off early into the mountains tomorrow, and maybe if we have time, do some Canyoning….

Much Love

Today was a rest day. We walked around the town…. looking for anything to do… and found nothing so we went and had a coffee and returned home so Jen could study. At least the sun was out and NO RAIN!!!

Last night we went out on the town for a large one! The packed RSL club (Retired Soldiers Legion) was absolutely heaving because their was a meat raffle on (!!!) and sadly I didn’t win!!! 😉 I also noticed that there was no-one under the age of 210.! They must have trouble chewing that meat they win in the raffle..!

So heading up to Canberra tomorrow for more relative visits and grave cleaning and then into the Blue Mountains to spend the weekend.

Talk soon peeps!

Got out off bed…. and still bloody RAINING!!!

What is it with this weather… you guys back in the UK are enjoying the sun, and we are in the land of OZ and being p@ssed on!

More parrots instead of pigeons (see pic) weird!!!

So we got motoring and have arrived at Jens relatives… Merimbula is the place they live, and we are going to be hanging with them for a few days, before moving on.

The pics are of their 2 dogs, Bindi and Nugget. Bindi emigrated with them from the UK, and is a nightmare still. A rat with teeth that acts like its constantly on a trampoline!. Nugget is more chilled and looks a lot like Pippi (a dog on the farm we live at which passed away last year)

Anyway, not much news, just travelling on…. waiting for some good weather…!
