Coffs Harbour

Pleasant trip, during which I read David Beckham's autobiography "My Side" (2003, updated 2004)...sitting still, yet moving at the speed of the train, while simultaneously hurtling through an extraordinary life... Concluded DB's a top bloke and, contrary to tabloid-tinted perceptions, a total team player. Stayed at the Toreador Motel (no bull!). Dined at a pricey-but-worth-every-penny Thai joint suggested by the manager. Pity about the stale tobacco stench wafting under my door from the chain smokers in the parking lot.
