DAY NINETY-TWO: Heat wave in the UK!

DAY NINETY-TWO: Heat wave in the UK!

We thought it would be nice to drive to St Lawrence today. We weren’t sure how far it was or what it would look like. I imagined a small village that reflected the rest area, nice and tidy.
            The drive was latterly around the corner and the village itself looked like a set of a Clint Eastwood western, we left almost immediately. We returned to our spot and decided to go for a walk.
            There is a short walk across the wetlands, so off we went with the camera. We didn't see much but during the time I found settings on my camera I didn't know I had. The afternoon was spent playing with the new found functions.

            Back at the van I made a new friend out of one of the men on the campsite. We chatted for a while and he told us that on the Australian news there was a report that the UK was having a heat wave, the last we knew there were blizzards, now a heat wave, he told us it was 21 degrees C, I laughed at this knowing it was 26 degrees C in our van and that was in the shade. The 'freezing' water in Babinda was 22 degrees C. I've no idea how we're going to cope when we go home.
