Nambucca Heads - Day 94

Today finds us locked in or out of the van depending on which way you look at it.  A 2am toilet stop found our door handle finally give way after being held together by 100 mile an hour tape for months.  I have fixed this thing more times than I have hot dinners but today wasn't going to be a happy ending, so by 3am I admitted defeat and closed the door, locking us in with no handle.   From the inside its easy to get out with a flick of a screwdriver on the locks but once outside and the door shuts there is no way in apart from through a window.  We rang around and found in Coffs Harbour we could get what we needed but had to change the barrels and install it ourselves, we then waited on a man from Nambucca who I spoke to who had the bits and was coming out to the park anyway so he would fix it.  Yes your right it sounds to good to be true and it was, long story short after waiting all day and 4 calls to him, at 5pm he informs me he doesn't have the right part at all, he was such a lovely man though I found myself thanking him for his help even though I really wanted to say, are you serious we have waited 8 hours and could have gone to Coffs and back and had it installed by lunchtime!  We sat around all day today, with the door open!, which probably was great for Dan to get a rest from driving and recover from his teeth episode, he is so much better today.  So he washed the car and I washed and dried clothes and sheets.  The kids played all day on their scooters and at the playground.  They both got up early to go to the camp kitchen to watch one of their crazy shows off foxtel as it was a new episode.  I ventured up to the camp kitchen last night too as it was the last episode of Revenge, I haven't seen it for 3 months but at least I saw the final episode.  The kids also made a few friends at the playground that they spent the day with which was lovely to see, they have actually got along really well the whole trip but I think its great to have other kids to play with.  Its been nice not packing up and setting up each day, I found myself bored at 3pm as I didn't have to pack away anything so I made dinner, the earliest I have ever prepared a meal I think, even at home!  We went for a long walk along the boardwalk and the wall and read all the writing on the rocks, so many of them we remembered and  it was good to read the new ones, I think this time we will at least write our names on a rock.  Back for dinner and to lock ourselves in for a 2nd night , off to Coffs Harbour in the morning for a new handle and cross your fingers we can install it ourselves :(
