Friday 2nd August 2013
The Temple Gardens Hotel was by far the nicest so far!
The front desk warned us they'd had a infestation of meer cat / prairie dogs..Fortunately we were unaffected in our room..Phew
Doris & I took an early walk into town to get my nails done..EEEK !
Fortunately the finished result was much better..Even when freshly opened the nail salon was very busy with people having their hooves sanded, toe nails painted and a variety of lurid designs on their fingers. All provided by our Chinese/Thai hosts.
Believe it or not..We have probably passed a million of these enormous hay bales. Sometimes fields are peppered with these as far as the eye can see.
We awaited a ferry to take us on a 15 minute journey across this river.. " Riverhurst ".
Captain Ian & second officer Meer cat / Prairie Dog, Navigated us safely to the other side ..Maureen sat patiently in the car directing us verbally across the vast ocean.
Another fly spotted lunch in " Motel , Food " , we found a place with a handwritten sign, looked like a portacabin in a place called Murston..Somewhere between Eyebrow & Elbow..You couldn't make it up!!!
Our next Hotel, the newly built " Golden Eagle Lodge " Boasts a state of the art Pool ,Sauna, gym & steamroom etc. We put Ian in the washing machine to give him a good scrub!
All clean & they persuade me into a Pizza Hut.. First time EVER!
Pizza was duly eaten !
Goodnight dear reader , having driven 5+ hours today..Ian tells us its a LONGER driving day tomorrow..so no one better have any nightmares from cheese overload!!
Love to Nanny Ann & Jumbo xxxxxxxxxxxxx
