Day 183 – Mildura – Home – Sunny 21

We said our good-byes to Pat, Joy and the kids and went to visit Nonu at the block, he seems to be doing well. So while Glenn cut the lawns, Paige chattered to Nonu who didn’t have a clue what she was talking about, I was taking photos of the place and Levi was chasing the lawn mower around because he had forgotten what one was.

Paige showing off her battle scars to Nonu Grande.

Levi was petrified of Nonu saying “He’s going to bite me”.

I told him he can’t bite you, he doesn’t have any teeth.

By 11.30am we were on the road to Echuca, we had stopped at Swan Hill for lunch and it wasn’t until we stopped, I started to feel like crap. We got to Echuca and Glenn decided that he could drive the 140km home, so we did.

Francis and Paige.

Just like home.

Having a Cuppa.

What?

See Ya Little Man.

We arrived home at 8pm, Paige was so excited, the rest of us were fairly calm and hesitant.

The kids rediscovered their toys, which was after we had to show them were there rooms where, they had forgotten. Levi couldn’t believe all the trucks and trains he had, he was very overwhelmed.

Not long after we had got in, there was a little knock at the door, they let themselves in.

“Hello, the door was open”.

It was Robyn, she is crazy, she couldn’t wait. Little sweetie.

Thank-you to everyone who followed the blog.

Glenn is going to go through and edit all of my mistakes,

and sentences that do not make sense.

Ciao Anna

Day 182 – Mildura – sunny 22

I didn’t hesitate to book in with Pat to have a haircut before we arrived in town, So I was being pampered while Glenn took the kids to the park.

Visiting in the afternoon to Auntie Francis and Uncle Charlie’s, it was great to catch up with them as we hadn't seen them 6 months ago, because of our little trip to Adelaide Hospital.

Day 181 – Port Germien to Mildura – sunny 23

We didn’t mind the drive to Broken Hill and enjoyed the wild flowers especially the Stuart Desert Peas, they are gorgeous. We stopped and had some lunch, we were thinking of staying the night here and then decided last minute to drive to Mildura, now that is a boring driving. The kids travelled really well for a long day, but Glenn and I couldn’t believe how bland this road was, this is what we thought the Nullabor was going to be like. Arrived at Pat and Joy’s late, had dinner, the kids crashed they were so buggered. We caught up with the local goss and their travels to America, it was so good to see them, but on the same token it now feels we hadn’t gone anywhere, as this was the place we left from.
