Too old and fat…


… to fit in at Airlie beach. This is the biggest backpacker centre we have found so far, and we’re definitely feeling a generation out on most of the others. Plus I don’t have enough tattoos or piercings…but to quote Wolowitz, at least I can still be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Oh, Wait…..

On the other hand, we did have a very nice Rib-eye steak last night and a bottle of red,  watched a movie and then climbed into the air-conditioned van and a proper 5’ bed, so maybe old age and savings does have its plus points

Temperature and humidity have been rising as we’ve been travelling north; its not too bad during the days when we are out and about, but it is now an absolute joy to put the aircon on at night. What amazes me is the amount of water that it is extracting – must be a couple of litres overnight, and that is with it kicking in about once an hour on the thermostat. by the time we hit Cairns in November we can probably irrigate the shrubbery
