Bit tired now but will be heading out to get fish and chips for dinner, go sit in a park somewhere and watch the sun go down.  Traveling today reminded me so much of why I love this country, what an amazing place, the terrain is so varied and watching the sunrise this morning made my day. How could anyone complain about being away, I have the two boys who mean the most to me with me and for the first time in a long time its just the three of us. take care all Edit: Just ...
