Perhaps the last day.....

This morning we woke to a low level fog & cloud covered sky. After breakfast the boys decided to try and ride their bikes on sand, so they went as high as they could on the grassy stuff and went hell for leather down the slope and into the soft sand. They came off as much as they stayed upright but all good fun in the end.

Last night until midnight I managed to burn the firewood in its entirety because we are thinking about heading home and bypassing 1770 tomorrow morning. This will give us an additional 2 days to get sorted for work and clean everything up. We will see how we go given the difficulty getting in this place, and the 800klm from the bitumen to home inclusive of roadworks. My guess is we might find a free camp along the way but at the end of the day, we are booked in at 1770 and it wouldn't hurt to drop in there for the beachfront site.

You may by now have an idea that we enjoy the beach camping......

The fog didn't lift, in fact it was more cloud than anything so what was a forecast of sunshine failed to eventuate. We decided around lunch time that we would press on home tomorrow with an early start and predicted arrival time at 5pm if we don't dick around.

The afternoon was spent climbing sand dunes, playing orbit tennis, connect 4, who's who & doing puzzles with the boys, so it was good. We also managed a swim when the sun came out at 2:30. The boys went in nude and it as bloody funny seeing the two of them with their budgie tans. Maverick just started diving into the waves which I haven't seen him do before, then his conservative big brother followed. Great to see the waves don't scare them any more. A little sun and salt water time was a good way to spend an hour also.

The boys had their first drive of the Prado today also. They sat on my lap and steered the car for about 5klm each with no assistance. They absolutely loved it, as did I. They can't wait to tell their teachers they drove on the beach at ages 6 & 4. What a great way to learn how to drive, it's how I did and it made me so happy. Mum might tell another story....

All of the campers within our vicinity left and also left behind firewood, so I went from zero to hero in minutes after raping the leftovers. We had more than we did last night and all the signs were pointing to another big night around the fire.

We packed literally everything up after tea so we can get away tomorrow at 6:30am. We bribed the boys with Maccas breakfast at Rocky if they were good, it always works....

Now we had no neighbours, we all had nude bush showers by the car. The boys love it and so do I when Nat has hers.... I was all laughs & smiles so she said "we'll if you want me to be a bush bitch then get used to it - there would be plenty of women that would be too prissy to do this!!"

What she didn't understand was the I wasn't laughing at her, I was perving at her and just loving it....

We sat by the fire and had some drinks for the last time for what we think will be a while. It's great when Nat gets a bit pissy because she is so funny. We chatted and made plans to save the world and went to bed in the Mann Vann of the last time also on this trip.

750klm await tomorrow, then our own bed and clean up time for the next few days.

We will do a little summary in the next couple of days after we get home and sign off until our next Mann-Venture.

Jase & Nat.
