ANOTHER QUICK REAL TIME UP-DATE (29 MARCH 2018)

As is patently obvious to all who follow these amateur tales of travel, triumph and tribulation, I remain hopelessly adrift of the real world as far as our current situation is concerned. This, I am afraid, will not be remedied quickly. Another problem has now emerged....that of having to scope, sort and select appropriate photos for each offering from the myriads we keep taking!

And now, dear readers, the delays will be compounded by the fact I must take another somewhat enforced blogging break. Our extended Tassie tour has finally come to an end. Liz and I are due to board the Spirit of Tasmania at 2100 hours this evening for the return crossing to the mainland. Max is seriously unhappy already!

I must confess we are both looking forward to a short break from touring. Over the last five and a half months we have covered all but one short stretch of every main road on this island, and many back roads to boot. There has hardly been a day on which we've not been out and about seeing (and photographing) something new. It has all been pretty intense, to say the least.

On arrival back on 'the big island' we plan to catch up with our good friends south of Melbourne and shall then spend the rest of Easter making our way back to Adelaide where we are due in on 2 April, Easter Monday.

With a sojourn of six weeks in the offing, and Liz back in harness yet again, appropriate creature comfort demands that the full annex goes up. So, all in all, yours truly will be seriously busy and out of blogging action for at least the next week after which I hope to return to our tales of Tasmania with a vengeance. 

I have set myself the target of being completely up to date by the time we hit the road again on 8 May.

Wish me luck!
