A week on

Wow what a difference a week can do.
Think we are getting use to life on the road.
We stop at 2 great free camps where fellow nomads of all ages and all different walks of life. That were so helpful and made me release that what I’m feeling is only normal and you do get use to it. Or you come up with solutions to make it better.

We bought a washing machine. So excited to have probably cleaned clothes. I definitely wouldn’t have cut it as a housewife back in the old days.

Showers are great when you are staying in a grassed area. And you don’t get dirty feet straight away.
Toilets – we are learning that playgrounds have nice toilets and are normally cleaned daily. So we take in turns watching the boys play (they use portaloo as there is no time limit at camp).
Breakfast – for some of you this wouldn’t be a big thing but to a little boy who has lived of Vegemite & toast nearly every morning for breakfast. Have cereal just isn’t the same. But who can be bothered starting the generator just for toast.

Today we are most grateful for our 10 nights in a caravan park thanks to Chris & Rod (fellow nomads) who put us on to Travel Auctions. We got 10 nights for the price of 4.
We have endless power, water, hot showers that we can leave running while we wash. And play equipment right opposite our camp. So a bit of timeout for mum & dad (but still in our view). And toast for breakky in the morning. Thank you so much for the heads up Chris & Rod, this is heaven.

Upon finishing our Murray River adventures we both turned to each other and felt a bit sad. We are now leaving home. As it still (even though so different) felt like we were kind of at home, or not too far away as we were still on the Murray. We are now a whole other place away, we are on the coast.
Goodbye ” The mighty Murray River” we will miss you, until we meet again.
We feel as though we are really on the road now. Not just a holiday.

Take care
