17th February – Day 14
Certainly doesn’t feel like 2 weeks on the road – we’d be packing up and coming home if we were on our usual summer holiday!
This morning we did a tour of the steel works – it was fabulous! We got an insight right from the beginning when the Iron Ore arrives by train from the coal pit, right through to it being made into railway sleepers – excellent, excellent, excellent!
After the tour, we came home and did some relaxing. I have to tell you, driving every day is very tiring, and being in close quarters with another 24/7 is also very tiring – we have always given each other down time, but this has enlightened it again for us!
For those of you who really know me, it was Thursday yesterday, and I had ‘me time’ last night – a day late! Feet, nails and legs feel normal again! J
After we had some great relax time, we took a drive to Point Lowly lighthouse, can’t believe how far the tide goes out – people looked like ants they were so far out!
We had to do some shopping today to stock up for Arno Bay, believe there’s not much there in the way of shopping.
I spoke to our babies tonight – Lennon told me he was standing on one leg whilst he spoke to me, and poor little Eli, every time I heard him say ‘it’s my turn’, the phone would go dead – he kept touching the mute button! We have made a date for Skype, Sunday, 6:30 Vic time so that we can talk to them all.
Wind is picking up again, so might go and start getting things packed away for our drive down the coast.
Until next time! Xxx
