On The Road Again Tomorrow


Morning Folks,

One more sleep and we will be off again tomorrow, taking The Wood Shack 'overseas (see piccie below), down to Tassie, must be a popular spot, and Tony, will let you know about the c/pks etc as it is school holidays at present. O/nt on the boat tomorrow week and will be discovering the apple isle for 5 weeks - what we plan to do, is park the van up for a week at a time (in for 7 nts, pay for 6) and do day trips out from main areas eg Devonport, Queenstown, Hobart, Bicheno & Launceston (think that's it), then back to Devonport to catch the boat back.

To make this trip a little out of the ordinary, we will then throw a 'leftie' at Melbourne, head along the Great Ocean Rd, back across Vic, call into Canberra (can't get enough of our new grand-daughter), head NW back to the Newell before climbing back into Qld and home. Should take us around 8 wks all up.

Now I have to confess that our timing has been made with a day for chocoholics in Latrobe on 10 July - a Winter Chocolate Festival!!! One would have to say, this is my type of travelling/holiday??????

Pejay,
Have a great trip. Enjoy the chocolate! Remember chocolate is non fattening when eaten on a day with an "A" in it.

Chocolate is from the cocoa bean - yes? so it is a vegetable, and we all know you can eat as many veges as you like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So go all out, with a clear conscience(??)

Unfortunately I think they stopped the tours of the Cadbury factory in Hobart - or was that just a rumour I heard?

After Cadbury's tried to 'cheapen' their chocolate and change the recipe some years ago, I decided to ditch them in favour of quality chocolate, and from what I understand at Latrobe and The House of Anver it is just that.

Have a great trip Pejay...

Don't forget...if you break the chocolate before you eat it,
the calories leak out and it becomes non fattening smile

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Happy and safe travels. smile
