Well not long now till the big adventure begins! Our little cottage is looking very empty with only the essentials left...the beanbag, the bacardi bottle and the fly rods on the ready for packing into Lulu!
We have all the bits and pieces that are supposed to be coming with us on the trip in the front spare room - looks like more than lil 1.3L Lulu can manage but I'm sure we'll squeeze it all in somewhere.
Been doing some searching for motor home insurance. No one is all that keen on insuring a van that is worth half what the Waeko that is inside it is worth! Not to mention the thousands of dollars worth of fly gear! Apparently she does not meet the criteria to be classified as a motor home, I mean she is no Winnebago but she's going to be our home for the next who knows how long, and she has a motor!
We have had a slight change of plans too, we are heading to Thailand on the 17th for a job interview with the mob who bought our paper machine. So over to Melbourne on the 11th, have a squizz about the great ocean road and the grampians, drop Lulu off somewhere, then off to the tropics! Planning to stay on for a bit so we can check out a few things - elephant riding is high on my list of priorities! Then we will return to pick up Lulu and start the east coast fly fishing odyssey!
Think I'm going to miss this place. Despite the wind, rain, rising damp and Bruno calling in waking us up for his morning coffee, did I mention the wind and rain?! This little cottage has been home for me for a bit over 12 months and has seen Brons and I fall in love and plan our next adventure together, ah the memories! It's all very exciting but also a bit scary too....who knows where we'll end up next! I know it's going to be ok tho, hand in hand with my Bronicles!
Next post....from the big island.
