Everyone was exhausted after the big day of driving yesterday and when Chris’ alarm went off to wake up for fishing I couldn’t imagine waking the kids up to drop him off. So instead he took the car and we had a slow morning at the campsite.
We made pancakes, called a few people for FaceTime catch ups and played at the rope swings. It’s amazing how quickly these little monkey kids her the swing of things and learn all new tricks. I also discovered by chance that the boat club does coffees in the morning so I had my caffeine fix while watching the kids.
Izzy still had a homework piece left from last term so we created her own “medicine” just like in the Roald Dahl book “George’s Marvelous Medicine”. The other girls loved trying it and getting involved. It was actually rather fun for all!
Chris came back with his victory haul from fishing and some great memories. We had red emperor, sweet lip and a jewfish in the collection and I couldn’t wait for dinner – yum! (Not all the fish in the photo were Chris’, just to show the overall boat haul).
In the afternoon we headed into town to grab a few supplies and to stock up for the next few days. The town itself is rather small and compact with not much to see.
We headed back to the Boat Club and had a really relaxing afternoon enjoying some drinks whilst the kids did their thing.
Unfortunately Chris did however find a nasty surprise under the car when he did his usual checks and found oil all over the CV driveshaft. I will show pictures for those less mechanically minded like me. Needless to say it really worried Chris and we were thinking of options on what to do when things would open again on Monday but before our big drive back on Wednesday…
It’s never a dull moment on this trip!
