Hey guys. Switzerland looks absolutely amazing!!!!...We are freezing our nuts off here in Melbourne so mate I hope you're enjoying the sun and warm temps... Trip looks like something out of amazing race!!!...such incredible scenery...Italy is a remarkable place but I didnt self drive it...cant imagine doing this so you are very brave....
Been catching up with Leo frequently....all is going well...Boathouse still 'under reno'...he's gutting the place by the looks of it. I caught up with Meg's last week...she thinks she will work at BH when it opens...although she doesnt have the 'prerequisites' that the new owner indicated he wanted :)... Roxy is moving back to Melbourne and was desperate for somewhere to stay...I of course told Meg's she could stay here..."no strings attached"...of course...still waiting to hear back :)...
Other than that....my transmission blew up!!!..its in Gary's place as I type...going to set me back 2k!!! thank God for my new job...Speaking of which...I start it next Wednesday...been great to have this time off.....finally getting back to sleeping normally..
Anyway...great to follow your awesome adventures....be safe....looking forward to next update and to see you soon

Hi Ian and Gaby, all of your photos look like they are from a calendar. Doesn't it rain in Germany in summer? It must be lovely for you Gaby to be catching up with old friends. Hope you still want to come back to Australia!
I have had a very slow week recovering from my accident. Today I am starting to feel heaps better. I was very lucky.
How is the driving and navigation going? Still speaking?
Hamish appreciates all the transport shots Ian. Ann and Hugh are leaving today for 5 weeks touring the back blocks of NSW and Queensland with their caravan. We had atrocious weather yesterday when they were trying to pack. They want to get away today before they get invaded by Simon and family. Going over to Mums now to show her your blog. What she can see of it.
Essendon are playing GWS this weekend, but I don't know when. They played very well last weekend beating Richmond.
Happy sight seeing! Love Pru

Thanks for your message Ian. I am fascinated with this system, almost makes me want to travel! Hope you have met up with Gabie by now and all is well. I have passed your safe arrival on to Mum. I had a lucky escape today when my bike was hit by a car on Wellington Rd as I was merging with the traffic coming off the Monash. The ambulance(not Alex) and Police came but as nothing was broken and I didn't hit my head, the police drove me home. I just bounced accross the road on my back. I think Hamish is collecting my bike now. I look forward to looking at this page while you are away. Lots of love to you both, Pru
