Teresa was reacting to something on the ground at Mum and Dad’s place. She was fine on their top deck, but on the ground there was something in the air which she reacted to badly. Unfortunately that meant she had to spend most of the night in the caravan (as inside their house is still a problem) with the air purifier on. So we decided to leave for home today.
The trip home was uneventful (other than some problems parking when we checked out the Masters closing down sale – it’s harder parking in the city with a caravan in tow!).
It was great to arrive home. After being on the road 4 of the last 6 days, we were both quite tired.
Trip Stats
We travelled 3,997 kilometers in total, and used 663 litres of Diesel. That means the car on average used 16 litres/100km which is pretty good for a V8 with a caravan in tow.
Highlights
For David, the highlights were the Adelaide Oval, and Victor Harbor. I also loved the views at Robe and would love to go back.
For Teresa, definitely the farmers markets and “Grow Local” ethos in South Australia.
Future Trips
Yes, there will be future trips. We’ve already discussed the East coast of NSW and QLD, Western Australia, and Tasmania. Pretty much the rest of the country 🙂
The fact that Teresa can not only survive, but thrive in the caravan is a great sign. As long as we are travel in the non-peak times of yea, and stay away from other caravans in the park, we’ll be fine.
Your first big trip sounds like a great success! Enjoy your time at home
