Friday...15 May 2015

After two nights of limited sleep we picked up the caravan and took to the road again. Still a big fan of the modern motorway. Has to be the fastest and straightest way out of any town! Within an hour we were in open country again leaving the noisy and crowded city behind us.

We pulled up for the night on the edge of a little country town. After dinner and a couple of quiet ones we ran out of television shows to watch so Himself headed off to bed.  He was up again within half an hour to complain that the sound of the clock ticking in the absolute silence of the bush was deafening! The peace and quiet was really noticeable. Sudden silence can be just as scary as the constant city traffic! We did manage to adjust and had a wonderful sleep. The temperature dropped to 2 degrees which was rather a shock but the bigger shock was the alarm going off. We set an alarm the day the caravan had to go into the work shop but obviously Himself did not turn it completely off and bright and early this morning, on a day we could sleep until lunch if we wanted, off went the alarm! Just as well it was on his side of the bed, I would have thrown it through the unopened window myself!
