We check out of the hotel, leaving our bags in their luggage room, and Ieuan heads off to some motorbike expo whilst Lou goes shopping, unhindered by the usual chastening of “come on”…..
Meet back at lunchtime and have lunch at the Crown Café, stir fry chicken and red curry (curry not great!). Ieuan uses internet whilst Lou finishes shopping, then we head back to the hotel to reclaim our bags and head off.
We try to get a taxi to Maui Motorhomes office to pick up our campervan but the taxi drivers don’t seem to fancy taking us there, so pretend we have too much luggage to get in the car (ridiculous!). Eventually the concierge from the hotel comes out and tells the next taxi they are taking us, and off we go!
A lady from Rotorua (NZ) shows us our campervan, whizzing through all the instructions of what to do and when, leaving no instruction book, and before we know it, we head off to Coles (supermarket) next door to stock up on groceries. The van was new at the end of August so hasn’t done much mileage and is pretty nice.
We drive cautiously out of town towards the Great Ocean Road, reaching Anglesea, our designated overnight stopping place in a few hours. We stop on a slanty pitch and naively ambitious, we cook a combination of 2 curries for tea, which takes hours to make, eat and clean away in the tiny van, although does provide some much needed warmth!
It’s very cold when we go to bed under our thing, small duvet and Lou plans to buy another duvet and a hot water bottle tomorrow!
