There's loads of these little beasts, I want one :(
ANYHOO, I hadn't driven since we left the US. I have to admit now that I don't actually have my manual licence (everyone in my family has autos and I couldn't be bothered getting lessons after I had a creepy instructor for my first lesson). Most of the small nifty cars around here are manuals so I had just taken to walking around the place. Anyway, now we have a different car (yay, I'll be able to go to the YWAM base at a nearby town.. the first YWAM base ever!) and so tonight I took poor little Amz on a drive.
I wanted to go up a mountain.. so off we went. I accidently got on the motorway and went a loooooonnnngg way away, but then I found an exit ("sortie" in French) and found a mountain to climb! The car has an auto clutch but you still change the gears up and down.. HAHA, I changed to the wrong gear a couple of times, but it was so much fun! So we went zig and zag around the mountain, up 11km. I didn't like the narrow parts of the road, but other than that it was great to be driving again. Boy Switzerland is a beautiful place. If you're planning a European trip, I thoroughly recommend Switzerland. So lush, green and quaint. When we were going down the hill I stopped to chat to some cows to see if they spoke English (they didn't) and they were all wearing bells around their necks and making quite a racket! It's just gorgeous here :)
This kinda cow.. but not in it's Sunday best.

cant wait till im driving again!.. havent driven for 12weeks now.. the -ve of travelling..
I know! It's amazing the feeling of independence you get from driving alone and choosing where you wanna go after being a passenger for so long! Hey serg, my nurse friend is going on a tour through S.America for a couple of months and wanted to find somewhere to volunteer (she's a nurse). Know of anywhere?
Hey Kel,
Great your having such a good time, Pen is very jealous that you get to travell all round the place as she went on a trip through Europe a couple of years before we got hitched an is always talking about it. You going to the soccer? Hve some work mates over there that have gone special for it.
Anyways have a goodn cuz an see you next time your on this side of the planet (o:
Me gain, forgot to say Pen n me visited Nan last Friday. Looked a lot better than I thought she'd be. She was sleeping most of the time. Mum n Dad saw her Sunday arvonoon sometime and said that she was more alert and looked a lot healthier than when they saw her on Thurs. Saw your Mum there too said to check out your blogg and U.Bill as well. Off gain now (o:
Wow! Hi Craig and Penny!! I don't think I've seen you guys for a while.. maybe 2 Christmas' ago.. whoa. Nah, not going to the soccer. Had a friend down from Berlin last weekend who said her boss paid 3000Euros (A LOT!) for 2x tickets for the Finals.. insane! There's lots of flags being waved around here and most cafes have a flatscreen showing the latest matches.. they're pretty fanatical I think. Was great to hear the Aussies won!
How is life for you both? Are you still at Clough Craig? Are you still at Basso CofC? Do you have any plans for travelling?
Glad to hear Nana looked better. Mum said there's a family meeting tomorrow about discharge dates or something so I guess that'll be the latest news..
Thanks for visiting anyway, take care!
