Why is there silence on this site?

There is silence on this site because you have not followed the advice provided earlier and started to look instead at Pete's Travel Pages.

Had you done so you would be finding out that we are on the road at present and sending messages to people via that site.

Let me say that we have a few more travel facts that people should know:

Petrol cost in England at present can range from 81.9 pence to 89.0 pence and with the exchange rate with Australia being something like 40 pence to the dollar this means that petrol is OVER $2 per litre at the cheapest rate. Think about that when you complain about the cost of fuel at home.

Food is also something to think about. An 8 oz steak (that's half a pound or a quarter of a kilo is around £9-12 in a pub with some chips and a salad. Convert this into dollars and you can see immediately that you can dine out in style for around half the price in Australia at some of our better establishments.

Entry into homes and museums and the like is on average something like £6 - 13 per person - so never again complain about the entry rates to things in Australia.

These and other exciting bits of news will become available in greater detail on the other BLOG site.

Do tune in for the latest from Germany, Austria, France, Hungary, Slovenia and Italy as the journey progresses.
