I should at this point throw a link in to Mot and Ness' travel blog, One year. No work. All play.
Not content with the three or so months we spent meandering around Europe on the Hilarity100 almost two years ago, the two of them are now heading off to cycle around the Med for the rest of 2008.
Life really is tough.

The view from our climb in Blackheath... not altogether bad. Judging by the shapes of the dams, I’m guessing we were somewhere around about here on a map.
It’s strange seeing farmland out there — most of the mountains are national park and look more like the view near the famous tourist lookout at the Three Sisters, just a few minutes drive away from where we were climbing.
It’s worth the trek out to the mountains for the space and clear air. It feels like a world away from inner-city Sydney where I spend most of my time, and it’s good to be reminded that under all the concrete, bitumen and brick we’re actually standing on a giant bit of rock.

Speaking of climbing, that’s Matti, the guy who first dragged a few of us from work climbing. The current climbing addiction is mostly his fault.
I should also mention that aside from the fact updates have been sketchy at best lately, they’ve been even worse than usual while we’ve been living without net access at home for the last month or so.
We made do by jumping on a neighbour’s open wireless connection, but it’s unbelievably slow (by my reckoning, borrowing someone else’s wireless is just balancing the karma for the free open wireless that we’ve got running from our place).
The good news is that our connection’s back, so at least I have the opportunity to post more. Whether I actually do update or not we’ll see (I’ve also got to try to take more photos so I’ve got something to post).
