Hi Tricia
Wow, I didn’t know about the bathroom in New Zealand. We were there some years (decades) ago and I didn’t see it. Looked at the link for it online: it is wonderful. Wouldn’t you love needing a bathroom and discovering something like that?

Hope those unpleasant welts clear up. It sounds like something Janos had after staying in a not so well-run hotel on our trip on the Romantische Strasse last year, bed bugs. Apparently they can also jump into your bags, too. I read not to put your bags on the floor. Whatever the cause, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Suprisingly in a small town in the very north of New Zealand Hunterwasser designed a public toilet as you can imagine it is a great draw card. He also left the plans for a much larger building in a bigger Northland town but it has not been built
Keep safe

Dear Mary Ellen & Barry, how nice it is following you on your trip . We met in Gdansk in Villa Stratus. There jou couldn't stay longer then one night unfortunetly. We had a good conversation. We alsof saw you've changed your plans en now following the river Elbe. We hope you have a good journey and enjoy visiting Europe. Maybe some time yn Fryslân.
Kindest Regards,
Djurre & Janke van der Schaaf
We have bèen wondering how you were dealing with the heat wave. The records are falling all over Europe. Good idea to take an extra day off and chill (haha) in Magdeberg.
5 years ago Mary and I met through youth hostelling and we still use Australian hostels from time to time. You can get private rooms with a double bed and sometimes with en suite.
We were in Canberra a few years back for a tandem weekend with the local vision impaired tandem club (Mike used to ride with a similar programme in Melbourne) and stayed at Canberra YHA hostel.
There was a school group there and the room next to ours was multi bed and it sounded as if the little darlings were jumping off the top bunk in rotation and went on for a very long time. In the morning we bailed up one of the teachers to complain and a short while later a number of the miscreants were brought around to us to apologise.

Reducing the burden on the local ratepayers?

5 years agoI gave this a like, but in truth I preferred the yoga lady!
5 years agoI can think of reasons besides accommodation that you were lucky to miss this festival. The ‘head banging may start here’ made me laugh out loud.

Thank you for writing Bill. We have enjoyed the Jackdaw in our travels and appreciated learning more about them from your link.

Hey Bartletts, we will be cycling past what we take to be your door today! We are off to explore this strange wild place called Saltspring Island. It's fun to think that no matter where exotic travels take us all, it's always just past somebody's back yard!
