Day One, Devonport to Melbourne

Day one.............. (We have arrived) 

The start to our journey began at Devonport with a boat being some 1.5 hours late to leave. It appears the captain driving us was a cousin of Francesco Schettino who decided not only to make up time on the way out but also come in early. This did have a slight side effect on the boat, NO ONE SLEPT, it was just soooo loud and rough it was not much chop (hahaaa go it?) Feeling much like spending the night on a see saw !


Arriving into Melbourne on Tuesday morning we navigatted our way with the help of the trust GPS and Maciek's memory straight to the Xtrail factory for the camper to have a once over and some modifications to the suspension set up.
Once we dropped the camper of for the day it was time to see Melbourne and head out to the Queen Victoria  market and Melbourne CBD. A bit of shopping and spending saw the day through, with a wicked meal being had at Lygon street........MMMM ribbbbsssss in BBQ sauce.


That night we stayed at what was suppose to be a decent 4 star 2 bedroom apartment hotel..................HOW wrong we were. Even I (Wog) had to keep saying that its just a bed. That night, we slept like logs! Waking feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed ready for our first day of driving. 
This would see us onto day two.
