Last stop until 2012.

Carterton.

We had another peaceful night at Alfredton Domain so this site gets a big tick for ‘our visit again sometime book’. It would be great for a club rally with two or three other couples to make it rather more interesting.

We were on the road by 9am so that we would get to Masterton hopefully before all the last minute shoppers hit the supermarket. Unfortunately, today we got slowed down by 2 mobs of sheep being driven along the road from paddock to paddock. One mob couldn’t decide which way they were supposed to be going and kept changing direction, stupid animals!

Silly sheep didn't know which way they were supposed to be going.

Utter confusion with this mob of sheep.

After fuelling up the motorhome with 61 litre’s of diesel and saving $15 with a 25c/litre off supermarket voucher it was a good start to the day.The supermarket wasn’t as busy as we had expected which was another plus although we did spend a bundle, mostly to see us through Xmas.

Peter at Carterton Motor Camp trimming the tree's on our site. How thoughtful.

Arriving at Carterton motor camp we found friends Robin and Jenny had arrived just 5 minutes ahead of us. After lunch we spent the afternoon getting ourselves organised and settled in for the next 2 weeks. One job we had been putting off for weeks was opening the awning canopy. This went well but we will still need to buy a 14 metre tie down strap as added protection in case of strong winds.

The first full unveiling of the awning.

Success. Now fully extended for the first time.

Christening the BBQ. A day of firsts.
