A Day in the Life of Keir and Kylie
A timeline.....
3am - Wake up because I have to pee. Try and go back to sleep.
4am - Wake up and notice Kylie wiggling around, "Kylie are you awake". "Yes". "Do you have to pee as badly as I have to?" "YES!". We both get up and walk to the bathroom (of varying distances, next to the van, or 100m to the bathroom) in our pajama bottoms and t-shirts.
4:05am - Back at the van and shiver ourselves to sleep. We do have a heater (thank you Bill and Lorrene) but it is still un-Australianly cold. (is that a word?)
8am - alarm goes off. Snooze......
8:30am to 9am - Get out of bed...slowly.
9:05 - turn on the kettle for coffee or tea.
9:05 to 9:30 - make breakfast of somekind. A choice of Bacon and eggs. Ham and eggs. Sausage and eggs. Hard boiled eggs, or Cereal. All with or without toast and or peanut butter.
10:00 - if we have to leave the caravan park.....this is when we have to leave.
10:15 - When we usually leave!
11:00 - 2:30 or 3pm - on the road heading someplace. All we know is that we are heading North, and we are allowed to go East or West as much as we like. For example, Carnarvon Gorge was 400km or so due West, then North a bit to Emerald and we will head East another 400km to Rockhampton.
3:30pm - Arrive at whatever destination we were heading too. Mostly a caravan park $18-35, but sometimes a free roundside rest stop. One rest stop had a river and was packed with campers! (one of the nicest spots so far).
4pm - Unload the van and setup camp.
5:45pm - Wine or beer, camembert and Branston pickle with crackers.
6pm - have dinner of somekind. A choice of steak and baked potato (with 20% MF sour cream!!!!!). Steak and corn on the cob. Thai red curry. Garlic buttered scallops. Tuna lemon caper pasta. Beef vindaloo! Canned stew or baked beans with buttered bread. All with or without salad and Kylie's amazing dressing. Oh, and we reek like garlic for the rest of the day!
6:45pm - wash dishes.
7pm - Brush our teeth. Shower and pee.(at different times...com'on REALLY!)
7:15pm - Play Skip-bo (card game) or Monopoly. And or, watch a movie on the laptop in the van.
9pm - Look outside and all the lights in the surrounding caravans are dark. All old people.
9:05pm - Try and pee again.... Time for bed.
Love you all!
Keir ane Kylie
