Technical problems!!!

As mentioned, the Vodafone mobile connection will not connect at the moment and after spending far too long on the phone to technical support, we have decided to leave it until we have extra time to sort it out. Th Blue Mountains await so until we get online again, you will just have to imagine what is happening. It's very annoying since we researched it so well and had it working fine for a month or so but there you go - ain't technology grand??!!

Dog on the Tuckerbox and more...

We left a very foggy Melbourne this morning. It was foggy in patches for quite a while, you could hardly see a thing from the Westgate Bridge and it was only about 5 or 6 degrees outside!! Looking forward to warmer climes soon but first we are in even colder Canberra. It is going to be 0 degrees here tonight. BRRrrrrr!!!
Went down to the old Dog on the Tuckerbox site instead of having our coffee at the new, echoing hall that houses McCafe and Subway etc. It was like a ghost town there - but lovely and peaceful; much nicer surroundings than the new commercial venture. Travellers' tip: Take a thermos and avoid the consumerism!
We have just had dinner with Megan and Jeremy and I am writing this on Jem's computer since the Vodafone connection refuses to work!! GRrrrr! Will go to the Vodafone shop here tomorrow and see if they can sort it out. Isn't that Murphy's Law? It worked before we left of course. Ah well, the best laid plans, huh?
The trip here went without a hitch and we arrived to a nicely heated B&B room and dinner was lovely at Tilly's, a restaurant Jeremy and Megan like to go to.
Less travelling tomorrow and a 2 night stop over.
