Aah England

Spent a few days after my splendid two days in Paris in the great mixing pot London.
So I met with a friend from Canada well of course I did.
Then to collect NZL07. Needed some familiarisation a couple of nights camping and dinner at one of the innumerable Red Lion pubs.
I came to travel. And on official day one rode to Maldon. Why you may ask well the Vikings came and sadly slew Mr Maldon but a1000 years ago they built a Church and the little seaside town is a joy.
A thousand years ago they were building churches and NZ grew trees and wild animals roam.
What NZ is was built in under 200 years. Astonishing really.

So I walked the Main St and ate jellied eel. Fantastic.

The estuary on which the town is built and the means by which the Vikings invaded contains a pleasant seaside community. Boat club and water activities.
How could I not have been here before. Still to see a “tourist”.

So it is a joy to be here off the beaten track amongst real Poms which I say with affection because these people have a special nature these rural folk with a great disposition and a good humour.

Oh by the way a pox on Apple. I want to post some pictures.
They hate anyone actually being happy using an old model so much that functions that were every day now are not available.  Nasty people. So until I find another way no pics sorry.

Boats

 I sure am stupid  I had a beautiful boat Dolphin V in Auckland  Missed my boat so shipped Adagio to GC where I wasted another $25,000 on upgrades and she is still not got to go boating because “someone” fucked the interior. Left a bloody shambles.  So while I waited I bought Dreamcatcher, that needed new electronics as I don’t know my way round. Well that was a disaster..    she set herself on fire twice or more … .INCOMPETENT TRADESMEN. , but that I find is normal here in Au no one gives a fuck ….i did the work just pay my bill you jerk !  I did the work just pay your bill …..should be on the goat of arms !  Ha ha.

Big ride Qld to Sydney

Left Main Beach late Saturday after loosing a darned credit card which I discovered stuck to the bottom of my iPad , So Beaudesert for a cup of tea and as dusk set in and dead Roos lined the road I slowed. I finally made Stanthorpe a small town on the Qld border. No rain s For 18 months the man said, it was minus 5 and no frost because there was no moisture. Well would you believe it the next morning light 4ain that followed me half the day. Very unpleasant riding but a delightful countryside. So on I went stopping for a tank of gas and a coffee. My favourite Shell station provided both. And on and on and on as it got bloody cold and I crossed the Great Dividing Range again. Places like Armidale and Tamworth and past the Blue Heeler statue that I missed in the dark. Pleased to arrive in Constitution Hill. 850 kms and about 10 hours. Bike went well. Enjoyed the ride despite the adverse conditions..

Qantas

Beware of these people ! They have instructed the staff at the redundant screening into Sydney airport to steal Swiss Cards from travellers. Nothing better to do since there is no actual threat to anyone they are making their own CRISIS ! And should you unhappily have had a joint replacement then you are automatically under suspicion. That means removing a great deal more clothing including watches , REDICULOUS !!!!
