Fletcher - Today we drove around, first we picked up Bentley from the day care. We drove to Humpty Doo, Howard Springs, Darwin wharf area and saw one of the companies m dad use to work for, then we went to the water front to have lunch we had burgers from wild burger. Then we walked on the wharf, later on we came back and had dinner.
Well looking at the kids entries, today was boring, well yes it was in the morning I must admit but they also had the lure of the pool so diaries were written as quickly as possible, note to self - don't use the pool as an incentive for diary writing & school work as the result is pretty poor. We picked up Bentley who heard us talking in the outside play area and came bounding through the doggy door and almost knocked us over, he was so pleased to see us, I thought he would be cross at us but no just happy we came back. He didn't know how to play with the other dogs very well so just kept to himself most the time or cuddled up to the owners when they came in. We headed out for a look at Humpty Doo and Howard Springs. We also went out to the wharf area and drove through every street in the industrial area and looked at every truck depot ever built. Dan was in his element and took so many photos. We got followed by a bloke in his car like some kind of highway pursuit from one of the companies asking why we were taking photos of his depot, hmmmm a little sensitive, hiding something, a power tripper or maybe we shouldn't have been taking photos? We then headed into the water front area and had a look around again, Bentley got to go in an elevator, the places we take this dog, but no one notices Dan's handbag. We sat down on the grassed area near the man made beach and checked out all the swimmers and sunbakers. We had lunch at a picnic table there and went for a walk around the wharf area. It has changed so much since we were here, it is so beautiful. It is a little like our southbank area but with continual sunshine and lots of swimming areas, its so strange to have buildings, apartments & offices with this water area in the middle. We headed back to the van and the pool, the kids have become regulars there at certain times and got us chatting to a few of the grey nomads, we are not cool enough to get invited to the 5pm happy hour but we will work on that! We seem to be there way too late most nights and come 6.30 we have to start dinner, maybe my only regret is taking our little slow cooker out of the van, we took it out as we didn't think in the heat we would have that type of meal but it would be lovely for it to be cooking while we were out.
