Panyes Find to Bornholm

Another night that would benefit from an improvement…. Ah well - the generator and cold got us out of bed early and we were on the road just around 6.40 am. The sunrise was much later too - 6.30 am and the temperature was a refreshing 4 degrees. In the holiday spirit I pursued it in my shorts 😂 and down jacket.
We just drove and drove and drove until our bums were flat. We had short stops at Wubin, Wonsan Hills, Northam and Mt Barker. We were on the road for at least 10 hours yet we have done only 826km.
It was a long day but the reward (🐶 🐶 🐶) was waiting for us so we were quite motivated.
It was quite strange to come back home, the house felt so big and empty unlike our camper 😂
Sally and Brian arrived shortly after us with cooked dinner - very yummy spaghetti bolognese - and also with the doggies. The girls appeared somewhat happy to see us and Alfi did not recognise us at first as his eye site and hearing is not that great. All doggies settled in and although they had heaps of fun in the city I am sure they will be happy to lead the quite country lifestyle again. Finally, Basil their buddy will have time to recover from their stay…

We had a fantastic time and tomorrow marks exactly 4 weeks since we left. Kimberley was always on our bucket list and we are glad we did it. It was an epic trip - definitely one of ‘must do’ trips. We took heaps of photos but somehow they don’t do the justice to the real beauty we were surrounded by. We are already thinking of doing the Gibb River Road in future as we both would be very happy to return to the Kimberley region.
