Good morning Germany π©πͺ
With a 10-hour time difference, we report from Melbourne and our new 6-week home "the Riddler" π with sunshine and pleasant temperatures of 15-35Β°C.
Thanks to Mui Ne (Vietnam), we were able to refuel and strengthen ourselves.
From Saturday morning to Sunday evening, it was π & βοΈ Time. In the end, it was a total of 13 hours of transport time.
The journey here was long and exhausting. π©
Starting the new adventure "East Coast Australia" with a camper van named the Riddler, we spent a night in a small shabby motel near our pickup location π.
No worries, we left Batman's villain in Asia, but we brought his car along.
In Melbourne, you can experience all four seasons in one day. We are currently between spring and summer, with a surprising 20Β°C difference.
Now we need to get used to "the Riddler" π. Easier said than done. π βπΌ
Thanks to modern technology, we found a free π ΏοΈ near the city center of Melbourne and enjoyed this amazing city.
Our first dinner from Aldi (North) was consumed with "the Riddler" π.
At dusk, we found a place to sleep for the night. On the way there, it happened! The moment we didn't expect today. A π¦ kangaroo crossed the bumpy road. A simple and sobering "oh π² a kangaroo" came out of our mouths. And of course, the camera πΈ was not ready. π© Later, 6 more π¦ hopped through the woods. We also found the two π¦ sitting there as photo subjects for tourists. Including staring. ππ»πͺπΌ
On day 072, we slept in. The first night in "the Riddler" was a bit restless. The noise in Cambodia was much louder, but definitely adventurous. π± Oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, it looks much nicer in Australia. π€
Our plan for today? Buy a SIM card (20GB for 20β¬), shop at Aldi, and then head south with a maximum speed of π―km/h. Thanks to the camper app, we quickly find the next stop for our night.
We say goodbye to Cape Paterson with a great view.
Good night!π€π΄ πβΊοΈ π¦
Small addition:
The name Riddler π has to be mentioned multiple times! π€
It doesn't really suit the car, but it makes it specific and unique.
