The Cohen's are journeying again, yippee.

The first couple of days were a bit stressful, nothing to do with the van. First I spent 30mins at the airport sorting the bank out so our credit card would be accepted by Avis. Then there was a big issue returning the car requiring another long phone cal to Avis. The result being that I had to drive back 54ks then catch the train back to to van, and now Avis have charged me 2 extra amounts. I will have to try to sort that out, and after I got back to the van we discovered that Elaine's purse was left in the car requiring us to drive back that 54ks before starting our journey. Then Elaine got some kind backstairs bug and we both had a bad first night in the van, that is clearing a bit now but madam is still not herself. I topped it off by breaking the galley tap before we took off to get her purse.

However we are now on our way and spent last night on a rural property with friends from our previous travels. The property was his sisters and Ian, the man of the house, restores old motor cars and there was a couple of examples of his very superb work on site. Today we have driven to Hay, where we will spend the night. Just 600 kms along the way but we are both refreshed and should be able to cover the distance. The target is still to be home by the 17th.
