This is our second attempt ...Gidday Mike and Judy:<br /><br />This is our second attempt to make contact - after an initial faulty note from (you know what place-droppers we are!) Switzerland's Lauterbrunnen valley...... where we sheltered in the rain in our [semi] flash apartment (with snappy Citroen outside), imagining we were some on some sort of adventure - when Avis, in an idle moment, decided to track down your blog. We had been led to it after meeting (fleetingly) the kids at Paul and Jenny's wedding. And great kids they are.<br />So now we know what real "mature" adventurers are, though there must be easier ways of getting sore arses. Good for you two - how brave for a couple of old bastards! Fantastic!<br />We had five weeks or so on the Continental roads while you were meandering through France and huddling in your tent.... and then a week down Dorset way. For old time's sakes, we got to the Shave Cross Inn (tell Judy about that, Mike), but it was sad to learn that it seems to be ending its 600-year-old reign. The publican told us she (and her hubby) had days where they didn't even sell a pint.... as the locals stayed in front of the telly with cheap Tesco's lager. Progress, eh?<br />Anyway you two, we regret we didn't give you a call to wish you well before you left Auckland town. But we will follow your progress via the blog...... and secretly wish that we had the je ne c'est quoi to tackle such a mapless challenge.<br />Go well, and best wishes,<br />Bruce and AvisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355389936307511436.post-17005154611163732592012-07-22T12:08:34.793+12:002012-07-22T12:08:34.793+12:00Absolutely love it guys - so nice to get such a hi...Absolutely love it guys - so nice to get such a hit of blogs - I have been missing it!
