The shake out - Apollo Bay

The Not Quite the Leyland Bros (NQTLBros) team headed off to not-so-sunny Apollo Bay for the weekend.  We needed to check out the new van to see what else was required before we head off.  And it was quite successful in that respect.  A new power lead and a desire to get rid of a whole heap of stuff that we have purchased but which I cannot be bother lugging around for 5 months.

Anyway, the joy of this trip reminded me why I used to hate camping so much and why my friends find it so funny that I am now going camping for 5 months. Camping in rain is no fun.  Camping in 10 degrees is no fun.  Camping wtih a 5 year old that gets up at 3.00am, 3.20am, 3.50am, 4.30am, 5.10am and 6am is no fun.  However, what is particularly no fun is camping with an 12 month baby that has gastro.  And what makes it even less fun is when dad gets gastro too.  All very unattractive.

Anyway, we are still going.  Its a tad too early to pull out yet.  But an interesting reality check this early in the adventure.
