When we studied maths, we were made acutely aware that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Then, many years ago, I took my children onto the Zig-Zag railway at Lithgow and travelling back and forth has obviously made an impact. . . ClareBear now takes this to grandiose proportions by zig zagging across three continents . . . This is her travel map for the first six months of next year . . . .to make it worse, her travel companion gets all the Frequent Flyer Points because she paid for the tickets on her mate's credit card . . .
My little trip to Melbourne in November may not be quite as exciting but I have managed to take the direct route . . .
Clarebear looks like she is skiing down a very steep slope with all those traverses! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Clarebear will have any room in her bag for me? I always wanted take a trip like that. I look forward to the stories during and after her adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou're a step ahead remembering something from Maths hahhaa! You've only got yourself to blame from Clarebear's introduction to the Zig-Zag railway and her continental adventure! But you know that :) Blah I'm jealous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? None of you are impressed with my trip?
ReplyDeleteAnon: As you get older your long term memory increases but you can't remember what you did last weekend! I'll be doing trigonometry soon.
Straight lines are boring. Live on the edge a little! You should detour to Adelaide and Tasmania, possibly even Perth on your way to Melbourne and THEN you can call it an ADVENTURE!!!
