Thierings on Tour

The wind all night was out of control at 14 miles and none of us could bare the thought of another night of the same… it was meant to slow down mildly during day, but was going to be even more intense that night! 
So as soon as the caravan parks in Coral Bay opened we called to see whether they would have a spot and luckily they did.

We packed up swiftly, trying to leave as much of the sand as possible behind and headed back north. The mat outside the caravan was pretty much fully covered with all the sand that had blown overnight. It was such a shame as the spot was just amazing and we love having space around us in nature rather than being packed in like sardines in caravan park, we’d also heard snorkeling nearby is incredible, but it just wasn’t to be for us on this trip…

The kids were really excited to be at a park though and we luckily managed to snag a night near the pool and playground. I was able to work with a view and in peace while the kids played.

As an afternoon treat Chris and I took turns to go to the beach for a swim since the kids only wanted to be in the pool and we wanted to swim at the beach. In the end everyone was happy and the adults even had turns at precious alone time, winning!

The wind did pick up even in Coral Bay, but it was nothing compared to our sandblasting the night before, so we felt it was definitely the right move.
