    We did it.

    July 23, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Yessiree!!!!!
    We did it.
    We drove back down to Taree.
    Paid the mechanic.
    And drove Bumper back to 32 Turpentine Ave, Sandy Beach NSW!!!!!!!

    We are so proud of ourselves.

    I don’t think normal people get as stressed as we do about old buses, the mechanics that work them and the 5 hour round trip to bring Bumper home.

    But we do.
    Though neither of us said a word to the other.
    We were just doing it.
    Come hell or high water ...

    And we did it.
    And I cannot stress enough how proud of ourselves we are!

    Bumper is now beautifully parked amongst the trees in Daryl’s front yard.
    And he looks magnificent!

    We cleared him out.
    (Packing up to travel always involves things in funny places)

    Daryl and Martine came in to admire.
    Lots of “ohs and ahhs “
    Fantastic.

    I cleaned out Tin Tin.
    Emily and Winston had been sleeping in there for 10 days.
    Packed things back where they should be.

    Daryl and Martine went for a picnic dinner on the beach.
    Emily and I ordered pizza and sat at her outdoor table to eat it.

    Wonderful, wonderful day.
    We did it.

    Very tired now.
    In bed 7.30pm.
