After travelling 7 hours to get to our holiday destination we are pretty tired but it's a fantastic place. As the 4 of us jumped in the car this morning all ready to go I said " Everybody ready? Let's go!" And then the car wouldn't start. The battery was flat. So daddy made an emergency phone call to the mechanic where we were told it would be at least 45 minutes before someone would be able to come and see us. So we all jumped begrudgingly out of the car and headed inside. There was nothing that we could do so we all sat on the lounge and turned the TV on only to be greeted by Bob the Builder telling us that we could fix it- yes we could! And then the mechanic was here. So much for 45 minutes. I don't even think it was 45 seconds. It was very good service. Problem solved. Again we piled into the car and off we went, and the car started.
It took us 7 hours to go just over 400km's because of Christmas traffic, road works, and torrential rain. That rain came down. It was amazing. I questioned whether we should have bought a boat with us or maybe even an ark. Surely the rain would eventually stop. And yes it did but not until 5 hours into the trip. But it is raining again now.
It has taken us a very long time to get the kids to bed. We booked a 2 bedroom cabin for the next 7 nights but I wish now that we had booked a 3 bedroom cabin. Brandon and Bailey do not need to be sleeping in the same room. Mummy and daddy do not need Brandon and Bailey to be sleeping in the same room. So we have just separated them. Brandon is hopefully going to sleep in our bed, of which we will move him asap. and Bailey is attempting to go to sleep in the porta cot. Let this be a lesson to anyone planning to put a 22 month old boy into a porta cot- DON'T!! It's been a long time since we last used the porta cot and I had forgotten how upwardly mobile a little person can become very quickly. Needless to say I don't think Bailey will ever sleep in that cot again.
Once we arrived at our destination this evening. we all went for a brief walk around the caravan park. Everything looks so much fun. After we had unpacked the car we all went and checked out the ocean and the playground by the ocean, the huge big jumping pillow, and the pizza takeaway menu. After we had ordered our pizza we headed over to the playground where we all played for a little while before then running to the beach. Mind you with day light savings here that we are now no longer used to, it was still fairly light at 9pm. Which explains why we were still outside on the beach at 8:30pm. Anyway, when you're on holidays it's good to break from routine. We are all just thankful that we are finally here.
