Our last pickup

S got sleepy on the way down and wanted to stretch out in the camper. I had to stop in a parking bay just north of Albury because I was flaking out too, but had a lousy rest. There were so many trucks whizzing by in such close proximity that they forced me back on the road behind the wheel in search of a better spot. We drove on and found a quieter rest spot just south of Glenrowan.

We both snuggled up for a while, and got on our way shortly after 8.00am, arriving in Melbourne for breakfast in Volumes at about 11.00am. Since we had the camper on the ute I had intended to drive to a caravan park that wasn’t too far from Warrandyte. We were planning on staying there for the night and spend the next day packing the campervan, and then back to Canberra. We were on the verge of heading off to the camping site, in drizzly rain, when S casually mentioned the motel we stayed in last time. We had almost driven past it. But it was too tempting, and I drove in and booked another room with a spa bath for fun, and then loafed around.
