It finally arrived; we’re on our way. There were times during the last month when we thought that we’d never make it – so much to do, and time just racing away. Despite our doubts, we did get away on time last Tuesday morning and soon got into the rhythm of dragging nearly 3 tonnes of anchor behind us. First stop was Parklea Caravan Park in Sydney. We needed somewhere so that we could easily visit Shirl’s mum who is in a nearby nursing home. After 3 days of visiting family and going out for lunch or dinner with various family and friends, we were exhausted. Whoever said that retirement was when you slowed down, had obviously never been retired. We’re now at Anna Bay (Birubi Caravan Park) where we’ll stay for a week(ish).
