Things I Have Learned on Tour, By Paul.

So, things I have learned so far on tour, a brief interlude, by Paul.

Lentil burgers on the opening night are a bad idea. It’s amusing for the first hour of the next morning, then it turns nasty.

Toyota Taragos are great, and speedy. Too damn speedy. 60km/h feels way too slow. I wonder how many tickets we’ll get posted?

Sharing a room/car with two gorgeous girls may sound like fun/fantasy/dream/once-in-a-lifetime etc, but it’s not. You can’t do anything remotely manly without being accused of being terribly manly and then made to feel bad for extended periods.

Never let girls choose the iPod music. Ever.

Always add an extra half-hour to the estimated leaving time to allow for packing up of multiple make-up and wash bags, random, unnecessary and repeated checking under the beds for ‘forgotten things’ and general faffing around.

When driving, girls tend to squeal when passed by a semi-trailer. It’s kind of cute yet oddly terrifying at the same time.

Sleeping is not generally an option as there is just too much to see.

The entire road from Brisbane to Sydney is ‘under construction’, and we have been thanked for our patience so much we feel very loved.

Napping in a moving car, eating jelly snakes, drinking diet coke and Garlic & Parmesan Shapes are not conducive to a healthy bowel motions
