Time for a quick update on the map
We have finally started doing some bigger mileage as there is not alot between towns up here. We arrived in Normanton yesterday and if we followed our normal pattern (if we can find our way around town without TomTom it's time to go) we would have driven straight out the other end LOL. Last night we hit the town for dinner at the Albany Hotel as it had a choice of three wines. We felt overdressed as we had sandals on and everone else was in thongs except the staff who were in crocs !!!!!!!!! hmmmmmmmmmm fashion conscious place this is LOL. The highlight of the night was the arrival of the cowboys - yep real ones and from the way they walked they had come straight from the horses. (We did pass some working cattle on the trip here, such a good look) As the night went on, the local "Madam" made an appearance with a couple of her girls to show the boys a good time. (Lucky girls). We finished the night at the "Purple Pub" where they have both boomerangs and shotguns in the bar - hmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess that means no crowd controllers required at the door.

What makes you think the cowboys came strait from the horses back ?????? I walk sometimes too like I come from a horse, but I can tell you it was not a horse that makes me walk that way LOL May I start a blog in German and English for the trip to Jordan, then you can see if you like the place. Roli always wanted to see Petra and since we covered the Dead Sea in school a "few years ago" LOL, I always dreamed for having a bath in that water where you can lay and read a book without sinking
