Our Theme for 1999 -

To wander around when the moods called. When a tip crosses our way to urge us to check it out. That's easy.

But to get a car and ensure that we are on the road punctually each week is tough. We had done something like that before. But never on a fixed schedule. So the first step! Back to our motto -find a theme.

We had used waterfalls, then traveling to Thailand. For 1999, we shall use "Rest house"

Settled! So be fore warned, browsing through the schedule below, you will constantly meet up with destination linked with Rest houses. Why then? It is a feature of a past society! Co-incidentally, comes the new century, this method of supplying accommodation is history.
