August 14th
Well we certainly put the camper trailers ability to withstand wind and rain to the test last night. What a miserable night – and I can say that from experience because I was awake for most of it. Woke up this morning and it wasn’t looking much better so we decided to go to Fremantle Markets seeing as it was undercover.
When we left the sun was looking like it was going to make an appearance so we left in light weight clothes – by the time we got to Fremantle it was freezing. We did a spot of shopping and then decided to take a drive around. As we were heading to Cottesloe we saw a heap of kite surfers which the kids (especially Thomas) thought was fantastic. We then went for a drive through Perth which reminded me of a lowline Sydney.
It was then back to the campground just in time for it to get overcast and threaten to rain again. After lunch the big kids and I had another game of cards until they decided they should check out the TV room – haven’t seen Claire and Thomas since!
The kids seemed to divide their afternoon between the playground and the TV room – in the interests of good parenting Paul and I thought we should probably keep an eye on the kids in the playground and as luck would have it Deb and Mikes campsite is right next to it. So we poured ourselves a wine and looking like two drunks carried them over to Deb and Mikes and settled in with some cheese and biscuits to ‘supervise’ the kids.
Once it got really dark the kids once again decided they were hungry and didn’t want to play any more so back to the camper trailer to fix yet another meal (a bag of pasta and a tub of sauce). After dinner we settled in for the night as it was so cold.
