drive around in motorhome still can go shopping! though it can sleep 6 inside, it also parks like a normal car in the public carpaks.. you dun need a bus bay.

last weekend i drove to a little town called cowra. its west ward from sydney towards the interior past the popular blue mts. i read about this town, significant for having a japanese war cemetry as it had aPOW camp there in second world war . historical. it now also has a beautiful jap garden there as a symbol of post war reconcialiation. while we were there they were screening old movies under the stars
in the jap garden. i drank a beer while sitting on the grass watching an old cult movie, rocky horror show. fun.

Ok, gathering dust again. Been busy with holidays! spent 11 nights in a motor home in NZ's south island. Went to most of the popular tourist spots but some how travelling in the motor home is an entirely new experience and made the trip memorable. The routine of setting up the vehicle for sleeping, for dvd sessions at night, packing up to drive off, finding holiday parks for overnight stay, plugging in the power for the microwave and tv to work, cleaning out the toilet , filling water , cooking in the communal kitchens, running from toilets to motor home in the cold etc. You all should try this. And NZ is as beautiful as I ever imagined it to be. its got everything from tropical rainforests, snow capped mountains, stunning coast lines and beautiful fiords.

on the work front, things are good, enjoying my time here in sydney and we were just visited by our regional citiphone head.. good old lawrence.
