The good ship Orchid was scheduled to have docked in Melbourne on March 2nd, so I hadn't expected to hear from the freight forwarders until a couple of days after that; however at lunchtime on the 2nd itself, I was surprised to receive a mail advising that the car was already at the Forwarders' Depot, and awaiting Customs Clearance and Quarantine inspection. Very exciting to hear.
We leave Singapore tomorrow evening, arriving in Melbourne early on Sunday, so I hope to get everything sorted early next week, and get the car parked safely in my friend, David Ogg's, garage. I also need to get some stickers made up to reflect the sponsorship I have secured late on from XL Insurance, my employer. I need to get some t-shirts printed up too.
Then I need to get on with the family holiday part of this adventure, before my wife runs out of patience! I'm not sure I'd mentioned yet that on top of all this petrol-fuelled adventure, we are also travelling with 4 year old Emily, and 9 month old Freddie!
