Athena was a pleasure to drive, I pulled up apprx 50ks out of Mildura, stayed at a Truck stop, only had one truck with me, I did see him till this morning. it was 3 degs over night, had to wear beanie, scarf extra blankies,. But I loved it.
Can't get the hot water going, so boiled water on stove instead, had brekkie, eggs and spinach and two cups of coffee. Heading for Port Augusta soon.
I AM HAPPY WOW WOW

You will love this life - have started - and that is the best step you could take!!!
Enjoy the life - take it easy - smell the flowers - stop off in little towns, little gems sometimes.

Interesting pic of the sunrise with dew on the side of motorhome. I'll bet you were back inside as soon as that shutter clicked hehe. I'm looking forward to the day I can join you and the other GNs on the road, Fran.

Congratulations Fran. The worst step has been taken and it is all plain sailing from now on.
Settle back and travel slowly and enjoy all the sights along the road as well as some of the weird people you will meet.
Some of us sane when we start but when you are on the road for a while you too will become a bit insane LOL. When you attempt every new challenge you will sit back afterwards and think to your self (I never thought I would do THAT what can I do now ).
Collect your bucket list and then slowly tick them off, but don't forget to add new ones as they come apparent.
Regards
Brian
