After returning from the Great Ocean Road tour (Details to be posted soon) I realized that my cellphone was missing. I searched high and low for it and was upset to say the least that two things could have gone missing in such a short period of time. First the camera (see General Catchup 4 Lost and Found =camera saga)now this.
I contacted the tour operator (AAT Kings) but they had not seen any sign of it. Clutching at straws I rang the cellphone number from the landline in my room, just incase it had fallen behind something or was hidden in one of my bags but alas there was silence.
There was still a slight chance that it may ring the next morning, as I had set it's alarm to sound just after 6:30am, to wake me early for the tour but there was not a peep out of it the following morning.
Later that same morning I rang the tour company again. They informed me that one had handed it in but they would ask the driver when he got to work. Unfortunately he wasn't due back until later in the day, which wasn't much help as I had to check out of the Enterprise Hotel before 10am. To complicate things once I checked out, with no cellphone, it would make contacting me a bit tricky. I gave them my number at the Enterprise all the same, had a shower and went downstairs to have breakfast. :(
There was allot of things on the cellphone I was not too pleased about losing. Giving it one last try I asked at reception if anyone had handed in a cellphone (there was a very slim chance that I may have dropped it somewhere around the hotel)and bingo-bango they told me the tour company had just rang saying that they had found the cellphone!
I was ultra relieved to say the very least and picked it up from AAT Kings, in Swanston Street, later than morning making me a very happy camper indeed! :)

Wiggley loses sight of things often. I think you both should be more careful. Mum and Stephen depend on the cellphone to keep in touch and they will not be very pleased either if they lose them.
Thankyou Ginger for your helpful suggestion. I pormise to be more careful in the future. Cellphones are not things that people like to lose. Esp. since I realise that I still have a couple of pitures of you and Wiggley on it.
