Highlights: Longest wooden Jetty in Australia @ 1.6 km jetty. Crabbing, caught 23 blue/sand crabs.

Lowlights: Salt & Pepper squid at the local pub. It must have been thawed out a couple of days back. For a town famed for their blue crabs, the menus was a bit like on that show ‘Ramseys kitchen. Friendly service, but you need to be a local.

Norm was very happy to loan some crab nets and trolley for us to go crabbing. First day Kat caught 3 by hand!, but they weren’t keepers. Next day, after stating on a low tide, an hour later, they were practically jumping in the nets. Caught 23. Yummmmmmmy dinner.

3 days of over 40 degrees.

PS.

WP on mobile devices has a lot of refining to do, it us very clumsy

iPads & iPhone

Well, my theory of using the iPads as an educational tool have failed terribly.

It is now a discipline to!

We have restricted the girls to using them for an hour while we are driving or when they are blogging (plus using Pages while they are not using WP (WordPress)), otherwise the only thing they want to do is Minecraft or Doodle camera.

iPhone 5 with my Koganmobile plan is outstanding and generally Hotspots really well. I connect 2 iPhones 2 iPads and a Laptop to the www with no worries. Speed is pretty good as well (considering I am used to a bidgilion MB per second).

I was hoping to be able to integrate Photostream, WordPress, Hotspot, iPhone & iPads seamlessly, to no avail.

On the road Photostream is quite hopeless, it breaks up and says the the stream is no longer available when trying to synch it with the iPads.

Once I am in controlled environment (caravan park with power) I will try to stream something so I can update photos from the iPhone and the iPads director to WP easily

Adelaide here we come!
