I knew it was Autumn and somewhere in my mind, I was expecting cool weather. My mind was okay with that. My body had forgotten what early mornings with fog and crisp breezes feel like. Neither of us wanted to get up with morning but my wretched alarm went off at 6.45, I had set it for Monday so we could say goodbye to Krista. I had no intention of being so early once we started travelling
We wandered around today, through Stanthorpe and Inglewood. This was all part of my stomping ground when I worked at the School Support Centre in Toowdoomba. These small towns don't change much. They are probably at their best in early Autumn when the trees are changing colour and frame the streets beautifully.
We arrived at Goondiwindi about 2pm and went straight to the information centre to get a map, not that a map is of much use to me. However, Cory is pretty good at giving directions and, on top of that, one of the maths sheets his teacher gave me is on map reading. It is good when what we are doing fits with the curriculum. We have also started our Conversational German CDs today. I will have to repeat the first lesson as I am sure what we did today will have gone the way of the rest of my language knowledge.
We will batten down early tonight and make sure the van is warm before it gets too cold and dark. We have plenty of books, board games, electronic games and DVDs. Hopefully we will sleep in a bit longer tomorrow. In the morning we will decide which direction to travel next.
