The open road and funny signs in the country

December 11, 2007

We’ve been largely very fortunate so far with the weather (which is important when you’re touring on a motorcycle) and we’ve been enjoying some fantastic roads and awesome vistas.

We rode down via Murrumbateman into the Snowy Mountains and stayed a few nights at a place about halfway between Thredbo and Jindabyne, then we took a very scenic route down to Eden. We’re off to Melbourne tomorrow.

However, I thought I’d just show you all a couple of thigns I’ve noticed along the way.

Firstly, I spotted this for sale in a road house. Surely there’s been something lost in translation here.

I think they have something a little back to front there.

However, this is definitely my favourite so far this trip. Have you ever been on the road, stopped at a motel and thought to yourself, “You know, I wish I could see more linen while I travelled. I wish bedsheets and pillow cases filled the view all the way to the horizon!”?

Well, wish no more:

The perfect holiday apartments.

See you further down the road.

    the worrying thought is “what if the linen sn’t overnight?”
