After talking about it for a week, we pursued Fran’s Dutch heritage by driving down to…

…the Mornington Peninsula for some Olliebollen from the Lekker Lekker van. Olliebollen is kind of like a bread and butter pudding, without the butter or custard. Perhaps a cousin of the donut. Deliciously more-ish.

The van is only there on Wednesdays. When we arrived, they told us they were closing in 15 minutes. In a panic, we ordered two dozen Olliebollen, then worried how we were going to eat them. That turned out to be not a problem. Together with our friends Krissy and Tim (who had also counted down to this day), we managed to polish off almost all of them. To be fair, Krissy only had one, but including her makes us sound less gluttonous.

Charging:

Our Tesla had automatically charged to 96% at home from excess solar and late night cheap renewables (wind power) in the grid. That was more than enough for today’s trip, several times over. We noticed a free public charger at the Mornington Central shopping center car park, near our destination. We plugged in to charge there, since we were parked anyway. It’s free, but requires your own type 2 cable. I had luckily packed the cable since I checked out the requirements before we left home. I’m still not a fan of BYO cables, but I’m getting faster at using them, and it probably makes the charger more frequently available for those who can be bothered.

It’s helpful to see in the Chargefox app and PlugShare app how many of the chargers there are available. I didn’t see yet the recently advertised Chargefox feature of showing an estimate of how long someone is charging.
