We hit the Melbourne City Link around 3pm, just as the Friday afternoon traffic was building up, over the Holt Bridge then it was into the tunnel everyone going flat chat, swapping lanes getting no where fast. We did have to break suddenly once when some ethnic person decided they would come to a stop in our lane. He had missed the exit road before the toll way started, did think the van may have fish tailed as there was a screech of breaks before we pulled up as this person shot off at a right angle across to the exit.
Arrived at the Jurgens factory at Tooradin just in time to leave the van locked up in their yard for the night. The van was booked in at 8am Saturday for some warranty issues and to have an additional window installed in the ensuite. As it was going to be such an early start thought it was easier to drop it off Friday and treat ourselves to a night in a Hotel in Dandenong. It was nice to have some space to spread out in ! Bazza and I were feeling considerably short this morning when we had to share the lift and the dining room at breakfast with very young tall basketball players that were also staying at the hotel, there was a pre season tournament in town, one of the teams was even from China. We had just finished breakfast when we had a call to say the van would be finished by 10am, so it was back down to Tooradin then back on the road again heading for Echuca.
OMG school holidays have just started in Victoria, the caravan park is over run with camper trailers, tents and kids. Just hoping we haven't got the family from hell beside us, they seemed quiet nice and had their kids in bed nice and early. Hoping they sleep in until at least 7am !
