Friday 20th of june

Today was cleaning day. We will be leaving this place tomorrow and the camper is still a mess. So we did the laundry, packed everything up and by the afternoon we could see that it was almost ready to drive again. Then we had our last pizza party and we had a lovely time. After the pizza party we went down with Dana, Jonny and the kids to play some games. We made it a bit too late so tomorrow we will be leaving a bit later than we had planned. 

Saturday 21st of june

Leaving day is today so packing up the last bits and saying our goodbye’s. We were ready to leave by 12 and we were driving up the hill when it happened again…. Because the driveway is so steep the tank thought it was empty… Bryan had to roll the camper down and we had to get some diesel. Luckily Hugo had some left over, but it wasn’t enough. Jonny, our hero, came up to take Megan to the gas station to fill up a jerrycan. After filling up the tank and helping Betsy (the camper) to start again we were off. Our first stop was by the castle. All the cats were in the car so we didn’t stay long. We walked around for about an hour and it was lovely. Megan made some pictures and Bryan made some pictures of Megan. When we got back to the camper we saw a few people looking at the camper and we knew. The kittens are a nice thing to look at. We asked them if they wanted to cuddle one of two and we had a lovely conversation. They just got married in the castle! After saying our goodbye’s again we continued our drive. When we were close to our next location we stopped to get some food, groceries and other supplies. We found a nice parking spot in the shade and went into the mall. When we got back we had a new problem. The kittens pressed the buttons in the camper and because of the shaded place we parked in the accu didn’t recharge. Luckily after a few tries we made it back into the sun and could drive again. We knew that the weather was going to be hot these days so we stopped by decathlon to get a tent for the shade. By then we were warm, tired and just wanted to go to the location. When we got there we got greeted by Mirande and we were led to the place we will be staying. It is a lovely spot with a bit of shade. Jan had enough of driving so we let him out straight away. He loved it until he saw Floris the dog. He ran off but we knew that he would come back again. We settled in and let Koos out for the first time. We made an arrangement to slowly let him get used to being outside and meet his forever home. 

Sunday 22nd of june

We slept amazing tonight. And for a long time. We already love this place and Mirande came to say hello in the morning. She had some water plants and we like to help her place them. We had a lovely time and talked about a lot. After helping we sat in the shade and met some new people. Koos came along and he didn’t like the chickens. 

At the end of the day we called home. Bryan called with his family and Megan with hers to let them know that we had moved and we had an okay trip here.

Monday 23rd of june

In the morning we called Bryan’s mother, because it was her birthday! We talked for a bit and it was nice to speak to her. After that we worked on the blog. After the needed time on our blog Megan and Bryan worked on their own jobs. In the afternoon we called with our great friends from last place and we had a lovely time. And we started to talk about meeting with each other again, because we are missing each other’s company. We are looking for the place after the place we are now to be there with all 6 of us. We found something and Megan left a response. We will see in the morning.

Tuesday 24th of june

We got a reply. Unfortunately not the reply we were hoping for, but we will keep looking.After a while we found another place, but that also didn’t work out. While we were talking about a place to live together we also discussed lessons for the girls. Every Tuesday and Thursday. We had a meeting and let the children decide what they wanted to learn about. After the lesson Megan had a few ideas and was ready to work on them.

Wednesday 25th of june

We woke up and didn’t have a plan for this day. We are relaxed and are ready to work if needed. We helped a bit in the garden and walked around the place.

Thursday 26th of june

Because our English friends don’t have a solar powered system yet we talked today and the days that follow a lot about systems and how to make things work on our land later and also to try and get them to where we are now. Then it was time to work in the garden and we found a gecko! After talking with Mirande it turned out it wasn’t that special, but we still were very happy with our finding. In the evening we called again with our friends and went to bed on time.
