It’s been just over two weeks since we first touched down in London town. Our goal essentially for the UK, was to find our home on wheels for the next six months. Ebay seems to be the way to go to find anything over here, so after a day exploring the city of London we began our hunt. Most of the vans we looked at seemed to be at least 5-6 hours away, so we hoped we’d pick one and everything would just fall into place. Shortly after searching for a while, we came across the one! It only had a day left of bidding, and was sitting comfortably in our price range. We sent a message and turned out his asking price was almost double what we had intended to spend, but after some deliberating and bartering, we agreed on a price (still pretty much double what we intended to spend, lol). So, off to Cornwall in the south of the U.K. we went. We picked up our whip, a beautifully converted 2005 Ford Transit and we were two happy campers! The next day, we found the nearest IKEA and decked her out to make sure we would be comfortable and cozy. We had to hang around the U.K. for a few more days to wait for rego papers and the like to be sent out so we slowly made our way back up to London. Myron was a little disappointed with the lack of fresh water swimming spots along the way. Back to London we got, including one blow out with some Sydney faces.. picked up our rego papers and booked a ferry to Calais, France. Very grateful for having family to look after us and help us along the way (Thanks Chris and Nikki!!). And now to France… the adventure awaits!
