Our 1st Night & Full Day

So our first night went ok as the campsite was lovely and clean with a good kitchen and bathroom. However, it was bloody freezing in the van and we both woke up a few times because of it. In the morning we had a quick breakfast and headed for Kalbarri, five hours to the north.

About halfway we hit Geraldton and it seemed a decent place, a good size with some nice looking houses on the hillsides. We stopped by the IGA and bought a potato salad and a coleslaw salad for 99cents each - bargain. We then headed for the sea and had lunch while I fretted about the security of our van. It was a decent location but a lot of the view out to sea was spoilt by the port nearby.

When we arrived at Kalbarri, it was around 4pm and we then spent the next two hours putting stuff away and me showing my boxers to the people behind us - wrong kind of belt. I then had a chat with them, two couples from Melbourne who had gone north, through the middle and to Darwin, Exmouth and then along the coast to Kalbarri. They were lovely people and asked me where we were from etc.

After a chat and more packing away, we tried the gas stove in the van and luckily I didn't gas us or blow the van up. I bashed out some gnocchi while Gem supervised cheese production and then we went to sleep for another night in the cold. It was lovely during the day, a strong sun in clear blue skies but once it went away, it was quite fresh I tell thee.

I'll pop some pictures on soon but the laptop is still downloading them.

Bye for now!
