Hello....sorry for the lack of blog recently, we have been so busy and have been meaning to update. You'v e probably all lost interest by now, but here's what we got up to in the Britz campervan. We picked it up in Brisbane, and after a quick video explaining how things work (such as the shower and the potty!), we were on the road. Jeff bravely opted to be the first one to drive it, and soon got the hang of it. It was a huge van, 6.7 metres long, and 2.8 metres ...
