Bertha ... sold?

We had b’fast with Wendy & Chris and said our goodbyes as we didn’t know what the outcome of the second viewing with Allan and Gaye would be. We’d arranged to meet at a cafe with decent parking opposite, so Bun and I walked around the small town of Mount Evelyn and then sat in the coffee shop waiting for them to arrive.

Another look around, Allan took Bertha for a drive then we had a coffee and sat down to negotiate.. With only two weeks left before we leave, I didn’t feel I had a strong hand. We agreed a price, shook on it and everyone was happy ... ish. I shouldn’t be so miserable about it, it’s been cheap motoring for us compared to hiring a motorhome. We just have to wait for the deposit to come through. Monday is a bank holiday (Labour Day) so we will have to wait until Tuesday. The downside of the deal is that the want Bertha next Saturday, this leaves us homeless and without transport for 9 days. Never mind, all part of the adventure.

We only have Bertha for another 7 days and so much to see. We set off towards Wilson’s Promontory National Park and Philip Island.

Unfortunately, as Monday is a bank holiday, this weekend is almost the last weekend of summer, that actually ended on 1 March, so everywhere is booked. For Saturday night we have managed to get a site in an overflow section of a campsite at Warragul Gardens Holiday Park. The Gippsland swimming finals are being held in Warragul, so the campsite is heaving with young peeps.もっと詳しく
