Dee was up early today preparing lunch for her dad, Les, Trevor's mum, Iris and us. She cooked a roast with Yorkshire puddings and roast vegetables. She really enjoys cooking and makes very nice meals. Trevor picked up Les and Iris to enjoy an afternoon with their family. Iris was shown photos of our holiday in Italy but Les has been keeping up to date with the blogs and really enjoys reading them and looking at the photos. He has fond memories of his time in ...

Today was a big clean-up day and a working day for Dee. There was lots of washing to do and put away all the clothes, food and equipment that had been put in the lounge room. Trevor, John and Paul returned the hire car and camper which took the better part of the morning.

It is only about 45kms to the border. The road was narrow in places and hugged the lake but the scenery was beautiful. There were many villages and towns scattered along the lake with some houses built on the small bit of land between the lake and road. There were littl...
