Day one of our big lap

I intended to blog every day but of course forgetting that blogging requires service and internet both of which were almost non existent yesterday and Monday.

We set off at 10.02 am, not bad considering that was the time I had set upon but always having a fudge factor of thirty minutes either side. The photo was taken at our first stop only 45 minutes from home but Warren always likes to check the load and how everything is travelling. All was good and as chance would have it, it was outside one of our haunts for morning coffee, although we have only ventured there on the bike before.

A pasty and an iced coffee to share after all it is going to be six months at least before we darken their doors again. Stop was at CJ's 

First day and within budget, $75 to fill the car and $25 for the caravan park at Moonie. I want to come in at around $100 a day, $700 a week may be $800. Of course it helps that we have taken a lot of food from home and eating from that.

This first week is just about getting to Melbourne so we are travelling each day and it is very hot.
