I had to make an emergency road-trip to the Western Desert over the past two days. It was a 1300kms (808miles) round trip. These are the things I already knew but was reminded of on that trip:
- The complete incredible wonderfulness of my parents and my sister Dette (well, she isn't actually my "sister" but she is closer and more important to me than just a best friend).
- Black coffee and licorice allsorts do not make a good breakfast.
- Overtaking 37m (121') road trains is made easier by long straight roads (see above) and sweet truck drivers.
- You can find incredible beauty anywhere...although it was easier to appreciate on the return trip while my precious love was back with me.
And one thing I didn't know till now:
- When you're alone and frightened the "Free Coffee for Driver" signs can make you feel like you are loved and supported by the whole of humanity (although I didn't avail myself of the offer....yuck!)

Thank and ditto.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are back...Yes those coffee signs are a nice idea but I think you were right not to drink it as it is not as lovely as the sentiment behind the idea.
