Hello to the over 2,600 subscribers to our RoadNews Newsletter.  I want to first thank the huge number of readers who bought and downloaded our Audio Book (http://www.downtheroad.org/Publishing) after the last newsletter was sent out.  This extra income really saved the day by providing the funds to buy 2 round trip tickets for the ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania and replace some worn out cycling equipment and clothing.  Oh yes, my external hard drive I use exclusively for video production crashed which was replaced as well.

Just before the external drive crashed I finished my latest Video Postcard From The Road about our stay at David's Cyclist's Home Stay in Malaysia.  There is not a lot of cycling in this video but it does feature a rare appearance of Cindie in a pink dress - borrowed from an Malaysian/Indian woman.

I will have to keep this one short because my battery is about dead.  We have been on the computer for hours in our tent while we are sitting out a rainy day.
