Day 1 - covid travel day

 A hell of a day for Alastair and a pretty chill one for Bini. 

Alastairs day started at 4:15am with an early and then drove outwards Canberra starting at 4:30. 

Learnt all about moths on the radio and ran over a big branch early on. (Penny was fine) 

Weather was stormy and all round terrible with crap all over the road. 

First break in Cowra. It was a shit hole so walked up and down main St, decided the bakery wasn't worth visiting. Then got back in car and kept going.

Stopped at marrumbateman just outside of Canberra for toilet stop. Then headed into Canberra.

Made it to Canberra nice and early so had a cinnomen scroll and a hot chocolate from a bakery (no masks needed in Canberra which was surprising) 

Parked penny at airport, got onto virgin flight to the gold coast. 

Landed in gold coast and got luggage. But couldn't check luggage onto next flight for 2 hours. Chilled in gold coast had a snitzel sandwich for lunch. Checked in luggage, charged phone and got on Jetstar flight to Canberra. 

Landed in Hobart at 6pm. And let auntie Susie know I'd landed. Got told off cause I had let her know before that I was getting in at 8 when Bini arrived so not to waste her time. 

Bini landed and Susie took us the to cottage. Susie bought us Thai for dinner and we collapsed in bed.
