Day 339 (Saturday 8th November 08) Got on our way first thing and drove inland to Methven. Amazing scenery with all the mountains around. Planned on driving up to Mt Hutt but couldn't get very far before it was unsealed road and decided we wouldn't risk it after only picking Hump Puppy up a couple of days ago! Made our way onto Mt Somers and then through Geraldine before heading out to the coast again and stopping for a look in Timaru. Popped into the tourist in...

Day 338 (Firday 7th November 08) Woke up to pouring rain, hope it clears up. A lot colder than what we had been used to as well! Had some breakfast, popped into the tourist information and had a look around Cathedral Square. Then went in search of a dentist as Em's tooth had chipped off again. After a while of looking around and going into a couple of places decided it could probably wait to be filled again until we got home as they both had said it should be ok...

Day 337 (Thursday 6th November 08) A very early start to be ready for the minibus to pick us up for the airport at 6am.

Had something to eat and then went through security to wait. A good flight with Air New Zealand, then had a long wait in the passport control queue, hoping we will be able to...

Day 332 (Saturday 1st November 08) Headed onto Melbourne as soon as we were up to get there as early as possible. Once we had found our way back to St Kilda popped to see the guy that we had booked our wicked through and asked if we could stay in his lock-up as he had said we could when we booked it. He gave us the key straight away so popped off to find some showers and toilets for tomorrow and then onto Aldi. Left the van in the lock-up then into the city to d...

Day 331 (Friday 31st October 08) Left Colac first thing and drove back to Geelong. Very windy and rainy when we arrived. Parked up in a car park out of the way and started sorting out all our things in the van. Wrapped up some christmas presents that we had already bought to send home and packed up our bags a bit. Gave the van a bit of a clean. Had something to eat and then went for a quick look around the shopping mall. Back down the same car park as before and...
