The title pretty much sums up the day. Today we've driven from the Gramps, to and through Melbourne during the rush hour, and down to Wilsons Promotory. It took us about 6 hours. And it's been pissing down with rain the entire way. Which I don't really mind so much, after all it's dry inside the car. But arriving now I realise I'm a little more tired than I though I would. It didn't rain when we woke up though, but it was unusually warm compared to the other nights/mornings we've had camping. Just to add a little extra driving to the day we checked out a climbing crag and did some sightseeing around Halls Gap before we left. The view point we went to was covered in fog and rain when we got there, with some unhappy looking tourists leaving as we arrived. Since we'd made the effort of driving up the mountain we thought we might as well walk out into the rain and look at the fog. And with that the sky broke up, just for us! I was very pleased with that. Having the iPad turned out very handy, especially now that it had recharged the battery. We GPS'ed our way through Melbourne's chaos, avoiding the toll roads, and did all the correct lefts and rights the rest of the way. Somehow we've also had network coverage on the iPad the entire trip, until the last 50 meters before arrival today.

And here we are, in Kate's family beach shack in Sandy Point, wondering what it will look like in daylight. At the moment I'm mostly worried about sharing it with a few hundred spiders. They're only Daddy Longlegs, but they're the biggest ones I've ever come across. I'm worried they'll steal our camper or something. We are sleeping in the van tonight anyway, since the bed there is already made, it's late and we are tired and lazy.
