The Duck!!!!

Amazing machine .....very slow and once in the river it was about as cold I have felt.....these machines are exactly my age they were built by women in 1945....... Men were at war.....Our guide was such a character he made the trip of one and a half hours so much fun
As he was telling us some of the History of the city he would interchange his hat.....and music, and have us all laughing... For once you felt like tipping......can't get over the tipping bit...I feel that people become a bit false because of the hope for a good tip. But I do understand that they depend on it as it is really part of their wage here.....
Water planes take of from the river apparently they have last rights they need to get out of the way of ducks even the quaking kind that is. On the water the motor ones can only go 7 knots so it is quite slow.....but it was an adventure.
Its wonderful being here ......and even though it can be cold the weather suits both Tony and I perfectly.
Friday night we did a massive baby shop in Target. That was fun.....I wanted to get a couple of turtle neck jumpers.....but I cannot find one.....looked in four shops now.....I thought they would be everywhere
So glad to be out of the Heat!!!!!
Gotta to go back for a little sleep....Church isn't till 11 today.....suits Tony love to all xxx
