Day 9

Our pre retirement trial trip- day 9

The aim today was to do nothing, to chill and relax. Job NOT done❌
Those that know the Seagull know he doesn’t do nothing well, that he’s not happy unless he’s fettling

Up early before the heat of the day kicked in to see a beautiful sunrise over the date plantation, check out the museum and do the short wetlands walk. Johnny then set off on a 9 km run along the old Ghan and Oodnadatta track 🏃🏼 and Justine the short walk to the Coward Springs cemetery 🪦

The Seagull then spent the rest of the day flitting from one small job that just had to be done to another. Checking over the car and van for the next leg of the Oodnadatta, reducing psi on all tyres, downloading data and footage to prep the first week’s video, charging the car batteries, tidying (the already tidy) canopy, repositioning the sensors in the car fridge……..

We did find time to relax in the spa and enjoy some of the fresh homemade produce, fig, date and ginger jam on our morning toast, date scones for lunch and as an afternoon treat date and vanilla ice cream (that tastes like real old fashioned cream) 🍦-yum 😋

Ended the day with another great mea from our ‘meals in a van’Read more
