Paula and I did the triangle today - From Melbourne to Geelong then across to Mornington using the ferry, stopped at a mates place at Frankston and back to Melbourne.
I tried to visit Davo at Grovedale which is near Geelong. He wasn't home. Maybe I should have phoned, but I like to drop in unannounced, that way they can't take off if they know I am coming. Davo was my section commander in Vietnam. I wrote about him here.
We had a stroll around Geelong, it seems like a nice place, much better than Ballarat. We had some morning tea and headed for the ferry at Queenscliff. The ferry ride takes about 45 minutes, it is a little expensive but it completes a nice drive.
We had a nice lunch at Sorrento. Gee what a busy place, I think everyone from Melbourne was there, then we called in to see Keith and Debbie at Frankston. I served in Vietnam with Keith and he often frequents this blog. The only reason I called in to see him is because he has no mates. What can you expect from someone who is ugly and has hardly any hair? His wife Debbie is very nice but I think she must have poor eyesight.
They introduced me to Troy who was in his twenties. I said how much Troy looks like his dad only to be corrected that Troy is not Keith's son. I knew that because Troy was good lookin'. He couldn't possibly be Keith's son! I was just trying to be nice.
We finished off the day with a visit to the Crown Casino. Paula had a little win. She possibly could have won more but we had to leave because all the chicks were hitting on me.
Actually Troy is my stepson Cav, and is NOT in his twenties, he is 32. What else have you got wrong!! And you expect people who read this rub+*#@ eeerrr blog of yours, to believe what you rant on about. I have no fears for my reputation. Most people who know me can see my lush golden locks, and know that, yes Debbie my beautiful wife does wear glasses--but she wears those 'sunglasses' so my bright eyes and smile don't blind her. However, it was good to see you and Paula. Cheers, K.R.

Love that V8!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have no friends!!!
One of these days, I'm going down to Mexico to cycle around that bay. It will probably kill me, but I have to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteSome of the roads were not very wide and they were crowded. We did see a few bike riders though. Best to do it outside of school holidays and not on a weekend.
