21st September – Monday
Another cold night followed by a cool day – only reach 22 degrees, with rain forecast for late in the afternoon.
We had a quiet day today, catching up on laundry and shopping. Even though we only bought food, it was nice to wander around a shopping centre again. We did get the feeling though, that it was quite obvious we weren’t locals. Four different people asked us if were travelling through, where were we from, etc. All very friendly people.
There are actually five couples from Tasmania in the caravan park, even another couple from Kingston. The stories about TT Line and the problems people are having with the reservation conditions certainly compound the problems we had. One couple had to wait three weeks (at this time of the year!) before being allowed to travel with a trailer – despite the overall length being less than two cars! Michelle O’Byrne and Michael Hodgman might get letters after we return.
The remainder of the afternoon has been spent watching and waiting for the rain to eventuate.
