Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
19 degC, 86% humidity Distance: 416km; total: 842km Left: 8:35 am; arrived: We were awake and up well before 6am, mainly due to going to bed about 9pm! Greg went for a walk whilst Wendy did her usual morning routine. Because we arrived quite late yesterday afternoon and the weather was not very pleasant (cool and very windy) we decided against a walk into town to see the sights of Warwick, we decided we would pack up and drive into town this morning for a wander. We were all packed up and ready before 8am so made our way into town and parked in the caravan friendly street. Warwick has a number of very impressive buildings all built either before or after WWI. Buildings include the Town Hall and Post Office. They also have a good looking War Memorial Park in Leslie Park. After a short wander and a shop at Woolies, we left Warwick just after 8:30am heading for Tamworth. Gunther was in the lead yesterday and wanted us to lead today. Because none of had been to Stanthorpe for a long while (it has been by-passed for a number of years), we decided to take a drive through Stanthorpe to check it out. It is a lovely little town with all the requisite shops. We stopped at Rotary Park in Tenterfield for morning tea which we made in the van. It was still quite fresh and the wind was still blowing a gale so we didn't linger long. Another 187km later we stopped in Armidale to refuel both the cars and the bellies. The Woolies petrol was a bit difficult to get to but the GPS guided us there. We then found a park on the outskirts of town in the direction we were travelling and made and had our lunch - the usual salad with some kind of protein. We had forgotten about the Daylight Savings time change that happened when we entered NSW, so by the time we had out lunch it was 2:30pm!! It was only another 100 km or so to Tamworth and we were checked in by 4:30pm (3:30 QLD time). Checking-in took a while as there were a few before us. When we finally got to check in, they told us to park anywhere - so we did, and remained hitched-up. We expect to be asked to unhitch and move sometime tomorrow. After setting up in the Austin Tourist Park (no site number - just park anywhere!), we sat and chatted and checked emails, etc. Greg had salmon and salad and Wendy had steak and salad for dinner. After washing the dishes, it was time to relax, do the teeth, write the blog, shower and hit the sack. Tomorrow we explore Tamworth. If anyone is reading this and wondering where the pictures are; they are on the phone and this is being written on the iPad.
