VANtastic news!!!!



As you can guess we are now the proud owners of this magnificent beast . A 1984 (very good vintage) mazda, room for 6 to sit in (take note any potential visitors, Im looking at you Eoghan) and loads of space for mattress etc in the back.

Its super exciting. Seems nice and strong in case we hit the kangaroos this time. (Dont think we posted about the last encounter. (90kph down a back road, Sian driving and 4 of them jumped out into the road. luckily was able to slow down in time)

So there you are. Next stop great ocean road for whale watching and beach type things :)

Also, it rained today for a few minutes. yuck. Not as bad as your rain though...wrecked!

Get out the spray paints and personalize it. Don't forget, in best parental tradition you must sell it for at least 500 more than you paid for it!! Slán. Mum x

The holiday sounds incredible so far, Good work on the dodgey van and all, although I'm not sure how much I'd trust something almost as old as me!
I have to agree with Sue regarding the personalization, it is a must, it would be akin to a low budget "Pimp my Ride" if you will. I know Sian is up to the job anyway.
