On our way again.

Budrem house sit complete, we headed to the thriving metropolis of Brooloo, Qld, to visit an old friend. I must say that it was the hardest place I have ever had to set up our van and Helen was very concerned about how far from the ground the rear near side of the van ended up. We had a great stay with Kym and Jai, however, had to move on. Wednesday, 30 Mar 11, we camped up at the Cabulture Showgrounds for the night before moving on to Capalaba where we will have our van (on and off) until mid July. Acting on some bad information (or was it a bad April fools day joke) we attended Morgan and Wacker motorcycle shop for the pre release of the new 1600cc BMW. Upon arrival we we informed that the showing had been the previous evening. After speaking the Mark Wacker, we were given a private showing of the new bike. At only $39,000 on road, it is BMW's answer to the Honda Goldwing. Saturday saw us attend the Breakfast Creek Hotel where our kids had organised a surprise 60th birthday party for me. A great night was had by all. (will not need to buy any Bundy rum for a while as every one seemed to think that I was partial to a drop of the sugary liquid). Until next time. Regards Col & Helen Old Farts on Tour. Keep the shiny side up.
