Day 149 – Chore day in Perth

Chris took the car in for a suspension check this morning, which he organised to get some peace of mind after all the issues we had leading up to the latest fix in Karratha. 

So it meant a wheel free day at the caravan park. We were extremely lucky that just across the road was the most amazing French patisserie with delicious coffee, pastries and macarons. Everyone got to pick their favourite flavour as a treat for later.

There was lots of time for the playground and a lot of devastation when I finally agreed to take them to the pool (despite the chilly temperatures) only to find out that the pool was awaiting council checks after the latest renovations. Jazzy was besides herself and kept asking when the council would finally approve it – so she had to gently be introduced to the pace of council approvals, which are months and months rather than her anticipated minutes she had in mind…

I had a few meetings while the girls chilled and the weather gods helped to ensure that my four loads of washing had enough sun to dry quickly despite the low temperatures. 

In the afternoon we explore the games room onsite, which had games, puzzles, colouring in galore and bag toss. Izzy was just happy to lie on a couch and read her Kindle, which I don’t blame her for, as sitting on the couch is definitely something we all miss on this trip.

Once we finally had the car back (suspension was confirmed as all cleared and as it should be) we headed out to collect our massive grocery shop. Then it was the usual Tetris of trying to pack it all away into the fridges and limited pantry space we have. Our kitchen is going to feel huge after this trip!

All in all, a rather uneventful day, but you get this when you are on the road full time πŸ˜‰
