Hi from Denmark
Hi Roland, we've not done that well, we got into China via a mix of train and plane and bike but then had to return home because Clare's right knee blew apart rather spectacularly (she couldn't climb stairs without swearing violently so cycling was right out of the question). We are now on our solos in northern Europe having a grand time, we rode through your country about a month ago - thoroughly enjoyed it! We're taking our time, looking at stuff and staying away from home! Cheers, C&V

Tea and cake
Hi you two, Just caught up with your Evendale blog - we're at mum's having tea and cake - it being mother's day! Hope you enjoyed Tasmania - we loved it there, more like NZ than OZ. Keep out the ditches. Kevin, Priska and Mum.

Holiday in NZ
We had a great time there despite the weather, one cyclone the day after we arrived and one two days before we left!! The medical stuff is, sadly, due to being a mid-forties female but is nothing life threatening and a short course of drugs should sort it. I will catch up with the blog one day, stuff keeps getting in the way! Cheers, C.

Holiday in NZ
Caught up with your blog, heard you had paid a visit to Jack's Bay. Hope all is well and the 'annoying medical issue' is nothing serious. Very jealous that you got down to Coromandel Peninsula - nice part of the world. Look forward to the next update soon.

...occasional cycling!
'Ow do skinny, we're managing 100km on a good day and when the heat is too much we manage bugger all. We always knew that riding the whole thing wasn't likely to happen but we blew a lot of time in WA just stopping to look at stuff and faffing around. Of course we should have ridden all the way to Kalgoorlie and on solos we may well would have done but the road trains coupled with not having any control absolutely terrified me. Standing at the side of the road shaking and crying uncontrollably isn't good for anything! And yeah, we're still fat, need to get out on the bike more!! Cheers, C&V.

Cycling...
Hello my fat friends! Clearly this is fast becoming a travel with a bike rather than on one. Whilst it is easy to laugh at your feeble efforts to ride any meaningfull distances, cope with the heat, road trains or size of the task you set out for yourself, I remain slightly jealous and wholely enjoy reading your blog. During my ride across the deserts in Oz I would often wake at 4am as the sun rose at 7.30 I'd then ride 160+km at 26kph without stopping due to the flies. At least your having a ball sight seeing. I took the Ghan back from Darwin, a great experience! Best of luck x

Confused!
I am easily confused! Have enjoyed getting up to date with your posts and remembering the tea shops along that coast. If your still in Albany try visiting 'The Earl of Spencer'(?) - good pub if i remember correctly. If you get a nice day Elephant pools is a nice spot for a day on the beach - and no flies! Happy travels. K&P

Reply to Kevin:
Bit confused by this, you should be able to see three entries at the moment, hopefully we'll actually be up-to-date later today. Anyway beer is necessary it aids loquaciousness. Cheers, C

We've got rain!
Hi folks, Southsea sounds great fun at the moment. It's raining here and has been for two days now - how sad is that? Love C & V

It's Snowing in Southsea!
Hi Clare & Vernon, we are enjoying your blog & photos lots - brings back memories from 7 years ago when we were in that neck of the woods travelling around with Lawrie in a camper van. I nearly strangled Lawrie over his navigating skills (or lack of them) whilst trying to negotiate the freeway out of Perth! Ah, the memories......The worst winds we experienced were are on the south coast in Esperance and Albany but fantastic coastline made up for it. Hope the Aussie summer improves for you very soon. Hey, we've got 6 inches of snow outside and temp is -4 deg.C! Gatwick is closed, most trains aren't running, schools are shut and people are buying up large quantities of bread and milk - the usual panic when a couple of snowflakes come our way! Apparently it's worst than the January snow (which we missed as we were in India). Had a brilliant snowball fight coming home from The Flo with Pip, Graham and Lawrie - when we got home we had white hair and snow in our coat pockets! I LOVE SNOW! Today I was feeling festive so I put the Christmas tree up.......well, it is the 2nd December......and we are off on our hols on 28th. Anyway, have a wonderful trip and look forward to your future blogs, Love Claire and Steve xx
