Starry soup!

Insulated mugs are on the list for our soup picnics!

Before checking out from the Dubbo cabin, Nick had filled our two Stanley food thermoses with home-made soup.

It had been pleasantly warm sitting in the sun for our picnic lunch at the zoo, so we elected to save the soup for later.  We reached the Singleton East Rest Area around 6:30am that evening.  Although it was quite early the sky was already dark and it felt much later.  We weren't hugely hungry but were definitely in need of a break from the driving, so deemed it time for soup under the stars!   There were picnic tables available but we elected to park Elmer beneath one of the light-poles, so we could actually see our soup.

Not surprisingly Vaughan considered it too cold to stand outside, so he stayed in his seat instead.  The rest of us admired the clear night, very glad of our thermal underwear!
