I must look back at that one Gert and obviously I couldn't have noticed the dog. Still outside on the balcony and its a continuous stretch of forests and logs piled up waiting to be loaded onto cargo boats. It's never ending .

Around the next bend there will something more interesting I am sure.


Soon I am off to the doctor for my last ever, hopefully, Pap smear. I was hoping I could put it off until my 70th but decided I had better do it as all you ladies must. Tomorrow is my yearly breast screen so that is me top to bottom this year.

Too much information I know but we are trying to pass the time here until the next church turns up.

Amazing what you miss at the time. That is why we have pics!

LOL good luck  ;)
Think I have seen enough churches, cathedrals, basilicas and monastery's to last a lifetime but they are everywhere I turn.

It's interesting to see so many churches etc. wasn't religion banned there for many years?

Thanks Gert and MF I am really enjoying this armchair trip. So much poverty mixed with all the glamour.

If you ever go to Tonga you will see a church about every 500 metres!

I think it was unofficially banned cookie as they were trying to enforce a state atheism policy and many people were persecuted when found practicing their religious beliefs.

When we were driving through the city of Adelaide on our way to the retreat hotel, CC very quickly made the statement that there were lot of churches in our fair city.  She didn't know we were known as The City of Churches so I thought her observations were very astute.  Of course I take no notice of things like this in my own city.

That's right Judy I remember CC saying that on the way to the hotel. It was after you both picked up Bedlam and I from the airport.
