12 December 2014 - We finally leave home.



12 December 2014

Pancakes for breakfast thanks to Karl’s sister, Diane, just before Luke headed off for his last day of Year 1 and the rest of us packed and cleaned at an incredible speed.



Auf Wiedersehen to our home of the last 17 years! We squeezed our 5 packs (Karl was going to bring his gear in a box and pack his pack at the hotel but we just couldn’t fit so he packed his pack on our front verandah…mmm  Mr Last Minute!) and 5 day packs and sundry items for my parents’ pantry and washing machine and drove off down our street. Adios, farewell, adieu, la gom….



First stop Cilom Airport Lodge 398 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine, Victoria, Australia!  How exotic!  Although it was close to 9 PM when we arrived, we made use of the swimming pool which was THE best thing for all of us, for our tired bodies and minds, a great de-stressor.  It was a comfortable night but of course sleep was fitful because of the incredible pace we’d lived life at over the past weeks. It was a bit of a squeeze but we all had our own beds and plenty of food to eat!  It was sort of fun staying in our own city in a hotel: it felt a bit luxurious by Keesman standards!
