Once upon a time.....

---

We thought that we should visit Lawrence and Deb and talk to them about their bus, now that they had finished their travelling around Australia. Georgi had always wanted to travel in a bus like theirs. We drove up to Triabunna and Lawrence kindly offered to drive the bus to Mayfield Beach so that we could "test it out" for the evening and overnight.

Lawrence and Georgi went in the Coaster and Deb and I drove behind in their ute. Mayfield Beach is fabulous (but can get quite busy). It overlooks Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula. Lawrence parked the Coaster and then set up the outside bbq / stove for us. We said goodbye and then had a walk on the beach.

We both knew the Coaster was just right. We celebrated with a lovely steak and glasses of red wine.

Of course, there were some difficulties to overcome (like getting our drivers licence upgraded so we could drive it). The trickiest issue was whether the Coaster would fit down the driveway and around the corner in to the carport. We would have to do some measuring (and fix up the driveway).

We thought that all of these things could be resolved and we talked about our travel plans as we drove home to Moonah on Sunday afternoon.

I think we might like this sort of lifestyle

Georgi and Lawrence and Deb

Celebratory drink
We pretty much made up our mind on the spot (if not before).
Now our minds turn to where can we go.
