Kombi Club meeting on Bribie Island (17. – 18.06.2006)


On Saturday morning we went early in the morning around 30 kilometres back towards Brisbane. There was the second meeting point with the other kombis. Driving in a convoy is always great fun of meetings like this and we really enjoyed the one hour drive from there to Bribie Island! In the convoy we were 12 kombis, on the end we even grow up to 24 kombis - a nice picture as you can imagine;-)!
It was a really relaxed meeting, not a lot planned, we went to a camping ground (our first time that we stayed on powered ground since beginning of hour journey) start drinking wine at lunchtime, eat the whole day chips, and other unhealthy junk food until the barbecue in the evening started!
After the barbecue with our German sausage and Leberkaese we spent some more time with other kombi drivers and more kombi stories! Later in the night both of us, Silke and Dirk had some problems, we spent more time at the toilet then in the van. It was raining and we both felt bad! The reason we don’t really know yet, maybe the esky in the van doesn’t work properly or our nice German food was off already or we were not used anymore eating nice German food or something else because two Australians were sick, too!
