Maintenance

Well the hot water is once again heated by electricity, which saves our gas. Organizing hot water for shower and dishes meant remembering to turn the gas on in time for the water to heat enough and then also remembering to turn it off to save our gas.
The weather this past week has been very wet. There are puddles lying around everywhere. In fact one night I wore Brandt's boots across to the toilet block so that I didn't get wet feet. The rain has meant that Brandt's rust treatment of the vehicle has taken a little longer than expected, so at the moment we will leave here on Wednesday.








Talking with fellow travelers we realize just how superb Adventure Caravans are. One couple we met were, like us, new to caravanning. They had been sent for a weekend to try out their van, but had been told absolutely nothing about how things worked. (we had been given a thorough walk through our van). Also it appears that their dealer was not very polite to them. Dealers, you should know that word of mouth is your best form of advertising! The whole caravan park here now knows to avoid, or be careful, when dealing with that particular company. And everyone knows now happy we are with Adventure Caravans.

I had been looking at the map to see where I thought we should head when we leave here. Brandt has seen something about volunteer farm help. I think it is helping flood victims take grass off fences, repair them if necessary, help in the kitchen, help with office work etc. so I guess that is where we will be aiming to go on Wednesday.
