A quick post Covid getaway

After  a handful of messy lockdown periods thanks to Covid, we finally had a long weekend that we were allowed out.
To be fair, being forced to stay home and not have to make an excuse to stop people visiting us wasnt that bad either 🤣

So with a public holiday Moday looming, we threw the stuff in the van and shot down to Victor Harbor which is a short 45 minutes drive away (well actually closer to an hour and 15 with my Grandpa driving when towing the van ...)
Of course with it being by the beach, it was also mandatory to throw in the fishing rods and a ring-in friend to keep the daughter happy(ish)
We arrived nice and late, I spent multiple hours unpacking all the crap I tend to take on every holiday despite vowing to cull most of it every trip, and in between consumed just the right amount of cold brews, all the while secretly being in my happy place #notatwork #camping


Over the next couple of days of near perfect weather, there was some fishing, swimming, beach driving and of course a couple of Wine O'Clock sessions.
Whilst I cannot give myself credit for the fish (that was Dylan who spent countless hours fishing rather than wining and dining...), they are still pretty impressive sized Bream.



Before we knew it though, it was time to pack up and go home - the worst part of any holiday.
However, after a tough start to the year, it is always good to get away, even if it is only for 2 1/2 days.
