Our prices are high too, but not as high as the UK so 87 santims per litre about £1.09. Total cost of journey then approximately 7.80 LVLs or about a tenner.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013060781688432165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667528135627300426.post-89641084896202577492011-06-23T00:13:15.083+03:002011-06-23T00:13:15.083+03:00what are the petrol prices like over there?

I am amazed reading your blogs at how resourceful you are. You are really identifying yourselves with the land and responding to the natural world in a way that most of us have forgotten. Well done you!<br /><br />And what an encouraging story of the Hawaiian prison warder. Thanks for sharing that.Mavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891683963512705794noreply@blogger.com
