And we're off! For a 'little' moment there, I thought we might have been nursing some of the students on our laps as we tried to find seats for everyone! But..... it was all 'in hand' and we managed to find a seat for everyone, with 1 seat spare for 'the meds' (aka the medicine box). It certainly didn't take long for everyone to feel quite at home, enjoying each others company, and the running 'hysterical' commentary from Eric-the-bus-driver.....that would be the commentary associated with the 8 day 'history' lesson.

| Too cute.....and I'm not just talking about the buses! |
First stop was Beechworth for morning tea, not that the lolly shop provides the 'best' sort of sustenance for morning tea. However, I'm thinking that it was the most frequented site, followed by the more appropriate choice of the bakery. Coffee for the adults in the group was a definite 'must'! While we're on the topic of food, lunch was 'somewhere' on the side of the road.....although you will be pleased to know that we did find a safe spot to pullover, that had the essential amenities requirements! This also gave us the opportunity to have the first of many' 'changeovers' as we swapped bodies around between the two buses.
Some great pics already. Looks like they've settled in well to their adventure. Love that you wore your Connie's Cj, easy to pick out 😀
ReplyDeleteHow exciting guys! You are all in our prayers- smooth sailing, looking forward to what tomorrow brings . . . Thanks Mr Gilmour, Me Hancock, Mrs Meyer and Mrs Anderson ��

ReplyDeleteHey Junior. You look like you're having a great time. Emma says 'goo'. Butchy says, "I'm hungry". Sashy is enjoying your bed. It's good to see you got some FIFA time on the boat. Joe's team drew with the top of the ladder today (he scored two goals). Hope the finger is up to playing guitar. Stay warm, be a blessing, we'll post more later. We miss you. GLN.

We saw some small patches of snow yesterday. While having breakfast we are looking up at the snow on the mountains though the big window. It snowed there last night. we are hoping to drive up the mountain in a few days to see some more snow.

ReplyDeleteIt is not that those are bad sites, it is just that the Christian sites will most likely offer more of what you are looking for. Christian chat rooms
