We left Lake Boga on Saturday morning, the weather was sunny so were looking forward to a few nice days in Echuca. We arrived in Echuca and were a bit surpprised how busy it was but it looked very interesting and we were looking forward to seeing the touristy things, but first we had to find a caravan park. We drove around and found some signs to caravan parks and decided to go to the G'day Caravan Park about 5 km out of the town. It was a great park, with several different areas for caravans and we chose an area that was fairly open as we wanted a bit of room to sit outside and enjoy the views and the sunshine.

Day 7
We had a good night sleep, tidied the van and then headed over to Moama, just over in the New South Wales border, where there was a Market. It was a huge market but as we are on the road I have to be careful what I buy as the cupboards and fridge are already full with very little spare room. After a good look around the market we drove on to a Truck Show which sounded interesting but when we got there it appeared to be Hot Rod style trucks which Ron was not so keen on so we drove back to Echuca where we booked a River cruise on the PS Adelaide so we had time to look around the Wharf area and had a nice lunch before boarding the Paddle Steamer Adelaide. It was a lovely cruise with a good commentary and the river was very nice and relaxing. Afterwards we had an ice cream and then back to the van.

Day 8
Another lovely day so we took our time to start the day, and as the weather was good I decided to do a bit of hand washing and pegged it out on our portable clothes line. I then decided to have a look at some social media on my laptop and to my surprise I had opened a page (link) and then couldn't get rid of it. I was very upset with myself as I normally don't open links but this time I did, very annoying and so we packed up the laptop and found a computer shop, told them the problem and they said they could fix it and to come back in a couple of hours. We were so relieved to find somewhere to have it fixed especially in a town we were not familiar with.
