Much to my disgust, Chris called me from the Macadamia castle and asked me where I was. I said "on my way to the Macadamia Castle still, I haven't missed it have I". Chris said, "no you can't miss it". Well it just so happened that while he took the Balina bypass, I acidently missed that sign and went through Balina. To make matters worse, Chris had waited for me to get there so we could order together but in the space of 10 mins they had shut! So I made a coffee in the caravan and we headed on.
We got to Caro and Pete's with no more major glitches and had a wonderful dinner at their friend Heather's. We enjoyed seeing the boys and John and Barbie for the first time in a very long time. We couldn't quite work out how long but it was too long anyway.
So we woke up the next morning to little Ethan (4yo) sticking his head in the window and saying,"I was creeping around your caravan while you were sleeping"! That started the day on a high and we enjoyed playing with the boys, having a swim and eating way too much! Thanks Caro :)
I must say Callum and Ethan gave me a workout playing bombs on the trampoline which consisted of dodgeing the many balls on the trampoline while jumping around! It was great fun!
Unfortunately we discovered a few errors on our parts that day:
1. I learnt that there hare two off switches on the fridge, so while we were driving to Brisbane I had the fridge on off rather than 12volt.
2. Chris did not turn the powerpoint on for the fridge for 240 volts, so for the two nights so far, when the fridge was switched to 240volts we were actually turning it off.
3. It's annoying when all of your food goes off!
4. We can't leave our freezer turned off overnight or even for a few hours, otherwise the temperature drops way too much!
Well I wanted to pack it in at this stage already but we perservered.
