Funny where the paths of life lead you... it was back on January the 1st at Mt Gambier when we met a lovely family from Geraldton who were driving over to Tasmania for their holidays. They had two children who were the kids ages and they got along like a house on fire as we, the adults did too. They said when we got over to Geraldton to give them a call and we could stay at there place. And here it was 2 months later and we are in Geraldton, staying with a family we met for only one night in a SA Caravan Park!!!
We had a great time. Their hospitality was amazing, we got to sleep in real bed, got to have a private shower and a single toilet where no-one else could hear your happenings!!! We chatted like old friends, we got to see the sights of Geraldton and got very used to being back in the real world again. To be in a house was like being in a palace, and to eat a meal off a table and not your kneecaps was such a treat! It was sad to leave our lovely friends but we had to return to the scene of the "attack of the Camper Trailer" (at Sandy Cape) where the caretaker had found our keys that we had lost in all the commotion and thought we would never see again! So it was another 2 nights in Jurien Bay but this time in the overflow area at the football ground. From the packed out caravan park, the footy oval was a treat with only one other camp there and full use of the club's toilets and showers. Cheap too. We also returned to the Health Centre and Rory had his stitches removed and the wound had healed really well.
We went back to Geraldton for another 2 nights but this time we stayed in a caravan park as our friends had now returned to work/school and we didn't want to overstay our welcome. We did do tea and had pizza, beer and wine and then bid them farewell. While being in a major town, Sharyn visited the hairdresser and I had some airbags fitted to the back of the Prado to stop it from sagging with the weight we are carrying and towing. They did the job. Onwards again...
