DAY 165 & 166 – HEATWAVE IN ADELAIDE
Woke up to
scorching heat this morning… too hot to do anything but sit inside in the air-conditioning. It was 40degrees at 10am in the morning here
today.
Steve had
organised for someone to come out and have a look at our awning to give us some
idea of what cost and what would be involved in fixing it. It appears we need a whole new awning and
roller so it really needs to be an insurance claim. Our morning was spent ringing insurance
companies and sourcing addresses of places around here to pick up a new
connector for the front of the van.
Meanwhile I
got to catch up a little more on blog posts and photos. In fact I got so caught up on it all, that
for the first time this holiday I am up to date with everything…. What am I
going to do now…….
In the
afternoon, we decided to go to the movies, to escape the heat… We went to see Dad’s Home 2.. and it was a
great way to spend the afternoon.
By the time
we got out of the cinema the temperature had dropped considerably, back down
under 30 which was a welcome relief.
We stopped
off at Repco to pick up the part that Steve needed for the van, and then headed
to refuel the car and drop into Woolies to pick up a few things we needed and
then it was home…
A nice
relaxing day – no sightseeing which means no photos…
.
Our second
full day in Adelaide, and again we haven’t done a real lot. Most of the morning was spent organising for
repairs to be done to our caravan when we arrive back in Brisbane in January
and supplying paperwork needed for insurance…
We then went
off to pick up the parts that Steve had ordered for the van only to find that
the wrong part had come…. So he has spent the afternoon trying to improvise to
no avail. It now doesn’t look like the
plug is the problem so we are not at a bit of a loose end as to know how to fix
the problem.
We did
manage to duck into a camping shop though and pick up a new chair for me… Love
it and it has now allowed me to get back outside and sit whilst I work.
We had planned
to go up to the Adelaide Hills and
Hahndorf tomorrow, but not sure if that will happen now, as our first priority
is getting this car and van sorted so that we can get back on the road….
This this
would be the first blog post since we have been away that I actually have no
photos to share today…
