Day 93 Across the Nullarbor
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 07:01AM We are almost in South Australia! How cool is that!
Thanks for all of your messages last night, we had a laugh at some of the things that have made you laugh.
Last night we stayed at Norseman, this was the place that Ness spent her birthday way back in March. Part of the fun of this trip was revisiting places that we have been to before. But unfortunately Ness & I both decided that we would eat at home rather than try the crap food we had last time!
I woke up early, I must be secretly excited about getting home.... we left at 6am and hit the road! Bad move..... the sun rises around 630am, the sun also rises in the east..... We were heading east!..... so we were driving right into the sun!
We did not see any animals today! Apart from crows, Eagles & some weird birds that we could not identify.
Arama asked why the trains need GPS? I mean where can they go?..... No Arama.... the GPS sends a signal back to the control room so they know where the train is on the track! Stops two trains from going on the same track at the same time.
My mum is still complaining that she has not been paid for her part in my DVD, Mum we agreed to pay you 100 tea towels..... in instalments! You will be paid off over about 10 years at this rate.
Sandy & David will get commission on selling our old car(when you sell it)..... we will pay it in visits from Brad & Dan to do gardening & odd jobs!..... you will be waiting longer than Mum to get paid!
Lorraine G is having a birthday today, happy birthday you old chook! We hope your day was full of laughs & plenty of wind! Happy Birthday Lane...can’t wait to catch up! xoxo
Ok so tomorrow we head to Ceduna...or further if we can. We had our first taste of rain for months today, up in the Pilbara there is very little cloud so it was strange driving into cloud today. And then when it started raining it made us both smile.
Ness was back into her crosswords & soduko, another thing we will have to remember is that Ness did her first Soduko on our trip! Don’t forget the crossstitch and the podcasts...some great ones today!
Sarah F.... we still have not found a Poly Waffle, but we have a solution.... after we get back you have to come visit, I will get some marshmallow, some biscuit & some chocolate & we can make our own!.... might have to wash it down with wine or alcohol but it will be fun!
Can’t wait..... looking forward to Seeing the boys, all of you & watching Bear Grills DVD’s.
Will give you a full report in the next few days on what I will miss from been on the road and things I won’t miss.
James & his travelling buddy!

One thign that annoys my husband to death as he is a creature of habit is that I hardly ever drive the same route twice. (Even home from work) Can't you come hoem a different route???
