We have travelled many thousands of kilometres with the
occasional visitor passengers. This time
Peter extended an invitation to his young 13 year old nephew, Connor from
Frankston in Victoria and our two grandsons, Jake aged 9 and Timothy aged 8,
who live in Ohinewai in New Zealand to accompany us. Surprisingly the boys accepted the invitation
and their parents supported it.
So on Saturday Jake and Tim had their first big adventure on
their own – travelling unaccompanied from Auckland to Melbourne. We made sure we were at the airport in plenty
of time to meet them and were very relieved to see them walk through the
arrivals area. Well done boys – the staff
member said that they were very well behaved and polite on the flight.
We were staying in Kensington and later in the evening
Sandra, Richard and Jordan brought Connor over.
Now all our passengers have arrived – and all their gear! It is surprising how much room three extra
passengers and their gear take. We
normally have the back seat area for the tent etc but not this time – it will
be a challenge to get it all on and in the Patrol. Two weeks, 4000 kilometres, long days in the
car, home sickness and new adventures are all ahead of us.
