Our trip home was quick - 600km one day and nearly 800km the next. The country was very familiar, a gale force wind was behind us, and the prediction of very cold and wet weather over the next few days made the thought of a bed in a warm house with no walk to the toilet very appealing and we just kept going. As the Huddarts have another week away we will have their house to ourselves for the week which will give us time to clean the very dirty car, the absolutely filthy van, our clothes and ourselves.
The car performed particuarly well for the whole trip - not one problem, but the van has a few small jobs to be done, the biggest problem was the amount of dust which got in on the dirt roads. After a service and some work we should be ready to go again in another week!
Because the Bellarine Peninsula has had it's wettest winter in 100 years the house is almost 3 months behind. At least the frame is now up and lock up shouldn't be too far away. We have been very pleased to walk through the rooms and look forward to completion and moving day with great anticipation.
Thanks to all those who have made nice comments about the blog. This is not the end of the Gap Year or the blog. Who knows what next week will bring!
