At the aunt’s wake. I’m having a weak, insipid cup of tea because the coffee option is horrendous. There is only one brand of instant coffee in this country that fouler than the one on offer here.
I have my AeroPress handy in the car, when I’m set up in the motel, I’m getting a real brew.
Arrived 4 hours 20 minutes after departure, spent 30 minutes on s couple of roadside stops.
Caught up with various cousins & their families, now at the church, service starts in 25 minutes.
8:15 am. Been on the road since 4:55 am, one brief stop 106 km ago. Only 60 km to go, according to the GPS.
@variablepulserate Correct. Her mansion is at the start of the southern end of the road.
There’s a terrific driving road called the Melba Highway, when the idiots get out of the way it’s fun to drive on. One hilly section climbs Mt Slide: there’d been a vehicle accident there recently & the was a sign out proclaiming “Oil on road.”
Trip is going well, rain falling gently. I’m at halfway timewise & over halfway re distance.
It’s made a lot harder by the festering morons who’ve no clue about how to drive on single carriageway roads. However in only 32 km I’ll be on the freeway.
Stopped at a fuel station/general store, it’s almost 7am & it’s yet to open.
Thirty minutes until sunrise.
Finally got Sygic to update its maps & settings. Had to uninstall & reinstall several times, though.
The best-laid plans, etc, etc. Nav app continues to have trouble downloading the updates.
Might have to fish out the Lumia 1020 and use its version of Sygic.
Discoverd the navigation app I propose using for today’s road trip has map updates available, 598 MB worth.
I’ll be using Sygic on the Lumia 1520, it’s screen is 2 inches larger than that of the iPhone SE.
