On the road

What sort of flower grows between your nose and your chin? Twolips! We have arrived in Mittagong at the height of the tulips season, and they are a sight to see. These ones are outside the information centre in town.

We departed Killarney Vale on Sunday morning amidst mild pomp and fanfare with Judy and Margrett to bid us fare-thee-well. First stop, the BP servo 500m down the road to check the tyre pressure of our Fully Loaded ve-hicle. While I fiddled and got suitably greasy fingers to feel like The Man of the gig, Vicki put on an mp3 cd to find that the CD player wouldn’t recognise the disc. So being 5 minutes from home we decided to pop back to my house to pick up all my bought cds. By the time I had found the cds, hugged the cat goodbye for the 10th time (and things), it was roughly an hour since our Official Departure and we were ready to try again. On the road… Mind your head Len!!!!!

Thanks to James (GPS) who tells us how to get places in an oh so polite English manner, we arrived in Mittagong without tragedy and proceeded to press the Set Up Motorhome Button which launches a series of events: plugs in power line to site power, attaches hose pipe to tap, raises sun vents, turns on gas at cylinder and stove, unlocks all cupboards and draws, turns on all mains switches ETC. No, wait, that was a dream I had last night, there’s no such thing as the S.U.M button. We did all that ourselves and then had a well deserved Nap.

Yesterday we popped off to the chiropractor in Mossy (Moss Vale) to attend to a certain ailing back and check out the countyside, after which we had lunch with Ursula and Lorraine who have just moved to Mittagong. Alas, with all the catching up of family news and intricate family connections We (yes the royal one) forgot to take pics for prosterity. But here are some other general photos of our trip Thus Far…
