Dear Dudu,

     Still going very well, our Falcon is performing superbly, 30m.p.g. average and we do about 250 miles a day.

     Saw a cheese factory, a brewery, the U.S.S. Missouri where they signed the Japanese surrender in 1945, stayed with friends in Vancouver for two days, met another Aussie couple who are now travelling with us in the car, we sleep in the car, they their tent!  Loved Banff, especially hot spring bath - JUST like N.Z. even the smell

     Much love P & D
