Gardens and goodbye

So, if you'd sat me down a week ago and said Davey me old son, before you're much older you'll be spending thirteen and a half hours in a row in a zoo, well frankly I wouldn't have believed you.

Woke up at the crack of noon ... I wish. More like 8 o'clock but still, not bad for me. Bec & I both had stuff to buy - in my case, a new pair of sunglasses to replace the pair that were broken before we got through immigration (*sigh*) and a power adapter to charge the laptop so that you could enjoy the musings of a deranged mind that makes up this blog.

Sooz? Dean? Help?). Saturday morning dawned cold, wet and shitty - just how we like it when leaving the country - and under protest my body dragged itself out of bed at 6am to get ready to go to the airport. My brain followed it half an hour later...
