The kiwi has landed.

 Landed Melb. mid day yesterday, and I wiped my boots before walking on Dougwe's carpet.

 Only just had enough cloths on to keep warm.

 Van a bit dirty on the outside, but nothing a good scrub can't fix. Might get some Truck Wash.

 Van is store d up in Gisborne.

  Now to install the diesel heater,that was delivered last week.

Welcome this great land Mr and Mrs Kiwi. A big thankyou for wiping your feet as that was quiet an expensive piece of carpet they used for me.

Now the fun of getting back out there and enjoying this great land of OZ.

Keep Safe out there.

Thanks all for the welcomes, but I suspect Doug is just after a few goodies from the camp oven. Lol

Had a good day on the van. Got the diesel heater fuel tank installed today. But for some reason have no hot water in shower or hand basin, but have hot water in kitchen sink, a job for tomorrow, as well as heater installation.
I am rapt with the inside condition of the van. Does not smell musty and our cloths still fresh, amazing after a yr and a half closed up.

 Oh, Come on Doug, you know that feeling. You get in your van, Rig and caravan, what ever you have and start driving. That feeling comes over you that makes you feel great, you are on a new adventure, tingles and trepidation.
