Away.....



What an epic week, but somehow we actually got away.
We have made it to Lisa's parents house in Port Stephens for dinner after working flat out for days on end to get the house ready, not to mention the car and trailer.

You know its full on when you are working too hard to eat, or stop or whatever. My hands feel totally worked after a week on the tools fixing the house, trailer and carrying a gazillion boxes in to storage
Thursday was epic working from dawn till late, although I did sneak an early surf in. Then Friday we were on to it from 6 am, finally getting on the road at 3.30pm - just in time for the afternoon traffic.

The house is clean (we hope) and empty, the tenant moves in Saturday. The storage unit is stacked to the brim, somewhat precariously, but it fits!. The Toyota is also loaded to the gunwales - but it fits and will get sorted on the way. The trailer is similarly stacked - but you wouldn't know it.

The bike rack even worked better than expected, bikes sit well and don't get in the way. The trailer tows beautifully - doesn't block side vision at all.

The drive up was a struggle with the traffic out of Sydney, but a great run on the freeway - and the rig just cruised comfortably the whole way.

At this stage we are just exhausted, will take a short breather to decompress before we camp at Treachery on Saturday night. Surf wasn't great this morning - but good to rinse off accumulated tension in the build up to departure.

Phew, just buggered - but we are away!
