Interesting tid bits

Of the 3 nights we did not sleep in the camper they were all on a boat.
|
|
We played 6 games of cribbage. The score was 3 each.
|
|
We had a hard drive full of movies and TV shows to watch but we only managed to watch 3 movies in 13 weeks.
|
|
It was almost 4 years to the day that we first bought our camper back to TAS when our current trip finished.
|
|
We drove on 9 RFDS emergency air strips along the highways.

| Cooking in a fry pan |
There are so many things we will miss that the list would be too long to blog….
We are feeling quite lost and don't know what to do with ourselves. We can't find anything and don't know what to wear or where to find it. We have not turned the TV on since returning. We have started the big clean up but it's going to take a few days to complete then there will be all the bits to get fixed on the truck and a few minor repairs to the camper. I guess we will slip back into our normal pre trip life style over time (maybe?). We can see why people do it every year, it's a great life style driving around Australia experiencing new places and doing new things. We can see another trip brewing if finances and time off allows.
