I know it\'s hardly a giant step, but I went to Mynachlogddu in the Preseli Mountains out west and stayed in a farmhouse for 10 days - a lady, a scrabble set, wine and food and a dodgy portable telly. That was a VERY good holiday, and I include the sight-seeing in that too (scenery that is!). Oh, what the hell - it was an intimate time, alright?

A funnyish side story...

Last time I was in London was on business, a sorta sales exchange trip (we were North American distributors for a labelling software product from UK). The sales team there kept telling me how you really have to travel to the client to show the features of the software in action and how if they had a prospect in Germany they would hop in the car and make the 4 hour trip. I had to remind them that from Houston (where I lived at the time) 4 hours would not get me 4 countries away or even 4 states (likely not even 4 counties) but that Dallas was 4 hours away and it was the closest major city (actually not entirely true as Austin, San Antonio and I believe Baton Rouge were all a bit closer).

Both of you are lucky. In Australia at the moment we don\'t even have tall grass. Damn drought means that all you see is sun scorched paddocks.

From Melbourne, or nearly any of the \"major cities\", it is a 8 or 9 hour drive to the next major city. We don\'t even have a decent rail network to get you there faster. I loved Japan where i could drive for about an hour and be in either Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Himeji or Okayama.
