This is wonderful.

Sydney airport has a free internet booth, happily I was able to send Olivia and my mother an email from this.
Darwin also has an internet machine but at $2 for 8 minutes it can sit lonely.

Terminal 49 is where I departed to Cairns.

Legazpi airport.

It may not be a major airport but it sure is a good one for taking photos, of course being an airport everything you do or say is a criminal offence but everyone uses their camera here.

Ready to come home.

Olivia snapped me at Legazpi airport looking calm and happy in anticipation of more flights and airports to come home again.

Back home again.

Incredibly after all the food and drink I enjoyed during my adventure I managed to lose weight.
I have plenty of things to catch up with but that will take a bit of time to peruse before I can post some more stuff.
Good news is I now have an appointment to see a dentist, the paperwork arrived while I was away, maybe when they saw it had been a decade they decided to blow the dust off my file.
Bad news is my foot is painful to walk on again, I had thought Olivia had cured it but not to be, I think it must be a plantar wart.

Australia network.

This mess is a photo I just took of our hotel's distribution of the cable network's Australian network channel. If it was a private subscription it could easily be cleaned up, but the real mess is the junk content they broadcast, and the politics and pressure that led to them getting the contract.
The tenders were called and they lost, there was an appeal and the decision to award the contract to the competitor was upheld. Then the minister threw out the result and re-tendered, the holders ABC lost again, so the minister threw everything out and awarded it permanently to the ABC. Just like sport viewing has been in Australia for many years the viewer is the loser.
There's something fishy about the deal for this.

I may be a few days till the next post, my adventure is nearly over.

Footpaths.

In Australia a 20 mm raised edge on a footpath will have the legal whizzes licking their lips, here footpaths vary from non-existent to pure evil like this cliff face that ruined my toes and damaged my hand on barbed wire when I was going the easy down direction. Jeepney's are cheap, nobody walks.

Daraga Post Office.

Service's ~100,000 people, ~40 PO boxes.
Ingham  ~10,000 people, ~~1000 PO boxes.
Mail service Ingham, quick and reliable, mail took over two months to reach Olivia from me.
