Hi Dieter,

DM> How's the water-tank ???
BV> out from the top of the water tower when there is some cloud cover
BV> but the staff are great and they let me plug into their fax line
BV> which gives me a 14k4 connect.
DM> Did you bribe them with your Krazy Keno algorithm ?? Hotels and
DM> motels can be somewhat notorious in not letting one plug in
DM> foreign equipment :-)

Patricia had it sussed out before we made the booking. They've been
really good about it and everyone has been really courteous too. I
think it is because their fax line plugs in near their photocopier
and whenever a new person walks in they say, "Good, you're here to
fix the photocopier are you?" I just smile and they leave all happy
thinking that someone is fixing it. Little do they know :) This must
be saving the manager a fortune on having to pay someone to actually
come out here to fix the bloody thing :)

DM> Have the kids found your bolt-hole yet??
BV> Nah, the kids have been great. They are having a wonderful time too.
DM> Sounds like it - discovering all the flora and fauna.

Yeah, they have even taken to naming the bugs in our room, which was
a piece of mastery on my part. At home, they squeal and I stomp :)

DM> Bastard ..

It's a rotten life, but someones gotta do it :)

BV> We have spent a couple of days just lazing by the pools and looking
DM> 
BV> which is stuck out in the middle of the rainforest. There are little
BV> stick insects everywhere, as well as an amazing assortment of spiders
DM> The ones we saw in QLD were about 9" long. Ferocious looking too.

Thank Christ we haven't seen any that large. Not even I could convince
them that anything that big and ugly was really friendly. Of course,
you know what that would mean. They'd start screaming and there ain't
no fucking way that I'm going to stomp on a spider THAT big.

BV> and other critters. Everyone is having a great time and we haven't
BV> got on each others nerves yet. It must be the humidity which has
BV> softened my brain :)
DM> Yeah, when they're that little bit older, it makes all the
DM> difference - they are more independent and inquisitive. Maybe in
DM> a couple more years time I might get to enjoy my holidays :-((

We can but hope.

DM>... You're only as young as the woman you feel
BV> Jeezzz, I get a cuddle from a 4 year old every night, I think I'm in
BV> trouble.
DM> Yup, big trouble :-) Hello to all (If you're not back yet.)

Ta, will pass on the regards. We actually leave tomorrow (today)
yesterday, whatever day it ends up being :)

Regards, Brenton
