Salisbury

Saturday 8 August 2015

Now sitting in a laundromat trying to get the laundry done and have a "gentleman" yacking in my ear about politics. Not a good subject to bring up with a complete stranger I would have thought.

 

Most of the convoy members have arrived and set up their camps. I think it will be a day of last minute chores before departure tomorrow morning. They do have a sun over here and it briefly shone this morning. Even the locals have been cold. Apparently it has been the coldest winter on record for a number of years. We're all looking forward to heading north and sunny days.

 

There are a variety of vehicles participating and some look like mobile homes (they actually look very comfortable and cosy - just saying! !). Others have camper trailers, tents and a very brave person has a swag. The museum has a great display of everything military and a big workshop to restore the vehicles. Our boys back home would be very envious over these facilities. Tonight we are having a group BBQ. The organisers have put in a lot of time and effort  to make this trek possible and we are all very appreciative of their efforts.
