Day 22 - Off to Melbourne today to take the van into Vanguard.  We have taken everything out of it so we had it weighed in Leongatha before we left.  It was still overweight.  Took us a few hours to get through to Epping to where it had to go.  It was just the worst weather.  It was raining on and off and freezing cold with strong winds.  Not the sort of day to be towing a big van through Melbourne with all that traffic and straight into a head wind..  Pa did a great job but with me navigating and him driving we were both pretty stressed by the time we got there.  We ended up spending a couple of hours there talking to Johnny deciding what had to be done.  In the end we don't think he will even weigh the van, he knows just by looking at it that it is overweight for the suspension.  He organised for a new suspension to be delivered next Wednesday so didn't need the van till at least Monday.  We thought rather than go all the way back through that traffic and back to Leongatha we would head north to Seymour and have a look around up there.  We are so glad we did.  Seymour is a nice little town and the caravan park isn't too bad.  At least we got a drive-through site.  The park needed a little bit of TLC but was right in town.  After we settled in, we walked over to the Chinese Restaurant that we had noticed driving into town, and had tea there.  It was really nice.  It's been ages since we've had Chinese and we had a bottle of the local wine and enjoyed.
