Into the tropics and now engine trouble!

Here are a couple of pics of the tour. The first is at Readers Companion, a bookshop in Armidale NSW where it was really cold outside, but inside we had a great time- lots of laughs and sales too.
Spent a well earned hour at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, where we tasted four different rums then went back to the A-Van for a nap.
Here we find, in a small park just north of Bundy, a set of exercise apparatii. I did try them all, but the lovely thing bout this pic is that the people of this little village took the trouble to put these devices there where any passer-by can tone up the muscles a little.
Right now, stuck in Gladstone with radiator trouble (if that is what it is). Everything closes in Gladdy over the weekend, so it looks like we don't get even a diagnosis until Monday which will put a serious dent in the itinerary!

  1. Even with radiator trouble, you appear to be enjoying your tour, Ford, with the added treat of the rum distillery!

  3. Way back in 1959 my mother, sisters, aunt, uncle and two cousins traveled to Havana (just before the revolution) ~ highlight of the trip was a rum distillery (of course at seventeen I could not drink, but I recall someone allowing me a few sips.). Hope your radiator problem is just that and nothing more. XX

    1. Now you can go back and taste the rum legally. I think Havana is a place I would like to visit, if for nothing else but to see the cars! XX
