Day 111. Bridgewater to Home Sweet Home. 30/08/2015

We don’t like these cold mornings and we slept a little longer than we had intended to, so consequently our departure was not as early as we have hoped it to be. The temperature was only about 6 degrees and there was a cold wind and it looked like we were heading into some rain clouds. Stopped at the bakery in Bridgewater before we even left town for John to purchase some of their delicious pasties. 
We were surprised at the amount of traffic on the roads even though it was a Sunday, but I guess we have travelled many kilometres without seeing another vehicle on the road. A little sprinkle of rain but nothing of any great consequence. We arrived home about 11.15 and very quickly we had some of the car and caravan unpacked. We received a couple of “welcome home” telephone calls from our friends in the Village along with some visits from others.

Later in the afternoon we had a wonderful “welcome home” greeting from all our family and they had bought dinner for us to enjoy with them as we caught up on family matters. The grandchildren seemed to have grown so much in the time we have been away.

We have had the most wonderful holiday that really was an epic journey that took us over 22,000 kms around this great country. We have seen and done the most amazing things all of which will live on in our hearts and minds forever.

It is very special to have shared some of our travels with Rod, Jude, Don and Heather and also, when we have been on different journeys, to catch up at some point and discuss our respective travels and stories. Our "happy hours" were priceless special times.

A very special time for us was sharing Wendy's 70th Birthday in Fremantle with Judy, Terry, Ellen and Doug who flew all the way to Fremantle to spend that time with us.

We hope that all of those that have followed our blog have found it interesting.

Safe and Sound back home.
