The Wonders of Modern Technology
There I was, sitting at the library, typing my latest web journal entry when *kapow!* The internet dropped off in the library just as I tried to upload my latest journal entry. Actually I don't think that it made the aforementioned sound, but it may well have if I was staring in an old Batman episode.
But wait, there's more! *cries the man in the [unnamed] infomercial* I saved my entry to disk, knowing that I would be coming to the internet cafe in the morning to upload some photos. Well the unfortunate thing is that the computer here does not have a disk drive, so I cannot upload yesterday's post until I get to Bateman's Bay. I cannot upload photos either as it is running Windows 98, and has no cd rom for me to install the camera driver. Ah gotta love technology eh?
Time is short and I must depart before I lose too much of the day. The storm is still following me, and I heard that rain is predicted for tomorrow. The sky is grey but my spirits are high as usual.
The Traveller's Rest was a fine place to stay in Ulladulla, and for AUD$25 a night it was a bargain! It is my first experience staying in backpacker accomodation, and I really enjoyed it. Being able to share tales of travelling with fellow adventurers was positively wonderful.
Time to depart, see you all in Bateman's Bay, some 52km (32.5 miles) away. I am not sure if I shall make it there today, but weather and legs permitting I shall try.
Farewell for now!

Hi Blake. Are you Glenda Brouff's son? If so can you give her my email address - cocora16@gmail.com.
I read about your walk to Eden in the Magnet online, which I sometimes remember to have a quick look at. Well done - a great feat (er - no pun intended)

Yep Glenda is my mother. I passed on your email to her Leonie and mentioned your message on the phone to her this morning and she was quite pleased to hear from you.
My feat left me with a strained left foot (which is still healing) but the journey was well worth the pain.
