Fletcher : Today was also a lazy day, we went to a market across the road. Then the rest of the day was at the caravan park, we went to the pool and it was cold. Then we went back to the caravan and mum and dad had a chat with the people behind us then we went back to the pool. We had leftovers from Pinocchio's for tea and went and got a gelati.
Mackenzie: Today we got up and played some games and went into town. We came back to the caravan park and went to the pool. After that we had a rest and got a gelati, I got cookies and cream and lemon it was yum. We went to the market and I got earrings.
We booked an extra night as it is such a beautiful pool and being in the dog park you can leave your dog in the van knowing he is getting looked after and if he does bark he is surrounded by dogs who are doing the same. So we get to go to the pool together without having to tie him to a fence which is great. We got up early and went to the market across the road, there were only half a dozen stalls but it was still nice to be at a market, 1st one in 4 weeks, I was having withdrawals. It was funny to see that many of the stall holders had dogs tied to their market tables. There was a burger caravan there and it was typical power family style for them to be working out whether to get a burger or souvlaki, a little reminder that it was only 8.45am didn't seem to discourage them at all especially Daniel. I don't know how but we made it off the oval without a burger, but we had the menu and there was every intention to be back before they closed at 2. We went back and forward from the pool today, there was quite a breeze today and the humidity had dropped dramatically, we later found out it had gone from over 70% to around 40%. only for the day but still it was such a welcome relief. We have had the coolest surfie blokes staying next to us with a very loud snoring bulldog, great taste in music and the best set up ford transit I have seen. There was a raised platform in the back with plastic storage tubs underneath, their beds on the top of the platform and a timber board dividing the 2 of them with little hooks screwed into the wall with bits and pieces hanging off them and a skateboard minus its wheels on each side as a storage shelf. We headed into town for some bread as after our night out for tea we decided that burgers wasn't great on the budget and we would save our money to treat ourselves to gelato again after dinner. We had made the mistake of taking Bentley into the shopping strip the day before only to see the No dogs sign as we were leaving and as he was pooping on the footpath. As you can imagine the earth couldn't swallow us up quick enough and even though we weren't finished shopping we made a really quick exit after cleaning up after him. So today we put Bentley and the kids on the opposite footpath in the shade and we rushed around IGA and Brumbys as quick as we could. We went back and made salad sandwiches before going back to the pool. We have again got to know some lovely people and a few from previous caravan parks we've been to so you feel like friends when you see them again and its nothing to sit and chat for hours. Its also great to hear everyone's disaster stories that make us feel a whole lot better about our constant mishaps. We had thought about doing a glass bottom boat ride or quad bike ride but sort of ran out of time, there is plenty of other places we can fit it into though. The tours sound amazing but are really expensive so we have to really work out what it is each of us want to see or do. The kids would be happy with a movie at the cinema at the moment to be honest. We chatted to a friend who is doing the whale shark swimming which is costing over $700 for he and his 15yr old son. It is obviously going to be an out of this world experience but well over $700 is an awful lot out of our budget. We did some washing in our amazing bucket and the lady behind us came over to tell me how cross at her husband she was as he had thrown out a similar bucket and she is kicking herself as she wants a "washing machine" too. We had leftovers from Pinocchio's which fed all 4 of us so I think you can tell just how big the serves were. We headed back to Pinocchio's after tea for our gelato treat, the manager says to Daniel, " Oh good you come back Mr Power" in his strong accent, well 3 days in a row we were regulars by now! The flavours had changed from the night before just showing how fresh and how big the turnover was in there. We were up late again but had our surfie friends music to listen to so it was good. Its hard to believe but we haven't been taking photos of our food, we normally photograph anything and everything we eat and text it around to people, Dan does this with his cousin all the time, we have to lift our game I think and get some photos happening!!
