The "Gunna Go" Caravan Park.....

is 'gunna go' down in Samuel's history books, as THE worst place EVER to stay!

Like i said in the previous, Previous post, I was feeling mighty drowsy and felt it safest to pull into the next park we found.
First impressions weren't that bad, a little kitchy perhaps, but under the right circumstances, it could have been........nice, but as you may have been reading, things haven't exactly been going to plan :D

maybe i should have questioned his positioning of us in site 13?- also by the way the same site # we had in mission beach!?! - It's just a number right?? ;) maybe i should rename our blog "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"?!? :D

So, spirits are high, Samuel and I are working as a team (can you believe that?!?) putting up our new tarp, in case it rains, the girls are co-operating and playing quietly, Lily offers to get our washing sorted and dried (didn't dry properly in T'Ville) 'ripper' me thinks  and darkness starts to fall. EASY! thinks I, we get out our handy dandy new camping lights, even find some extra leads and power boards i don't remember packing, so we can spread them out. :)  Plug them in...........NOTHING!!! huh!, change leads over, again NADA! smile starting to crack now as the mozzies descend and we still in the dark, read 'instructions' by torch light "lights must be charged for 24hrs prior to first use"  that's OK *twitch twitch* camp kitchen just over there, *slap, smack,squish* goes some more bugs, Camp surrounded by thoughtfully provided solar lights, we'll manage *twitch twitch* squish, slap,smack* so we head over to the camp kitchen and start cooking, "TV woohoo" go the children, "alright! extra power points for laptop" says mama. Dinner cooking, mama on the laptop 'trying' to stay up to date. *smack smack squish slap*  the children and I are learning a new German/Bavarian (?) dance, trying to keep up with the bugs. dinner eventually cooked, "Samuel, run over and grab the plates" - now remember he is still "crippled" from his 'snake bite' "i can't find them, moan moan whinge whinge" "fine" says mum "lets go back to camp, uummm Samuel where did you put the plates last night after washing up" "i dunno, i put them away" "you left them in T'ville didn't you?" "NAH! I put them.....ummmm......ohhhh oops"  *twitch twitch* "doesn't matter, we'll just eat out of the pot" The troops are rallied we are sitting down to eat mum bends over to try new lights again -nothing-  "eww bug" reach around, grab, look,... AARRRGGGHHH! FL ICK! AARRGGHH FL ICK,FL ICK! OMG! spider  on me EEK! mummy does a funny dance! I swear, its bum was as round as a gumball! 'GREAT! spiders bitten me and i'm gunna die in my sleep,in this bogan infested dump, and my children will be sold to the rug makers and the tulip farms!!!"  blearghhh!!!! eeek  eeerrrp spak attack from me!! everybody hurry up and eat and we'll get to bed ASAP! (it was, by the way, 7:30pm) dinner over, food piles everywhere, bugger that, lets get to bed!!

Everybody getting into bed, i'm just about to get into the truck/tray/canopy/house when i look up at the last second, what do i see??!!!! another (or maybe the SAME!) BLOODY SPIDER!  blleeaaaargrhhhhhh!!! eeewwwww! web on me eeek! Heh heh heh mummy doing that funny dance again heh heh heh!

Anyhoo! morning comes, time to pack up - no spiders in sight! noticing all the little piles of mince we left after dinner in the dark, but so is something else! O.M.Goodness!! the FLIES! they  were the biggest bluest noisiest things i have ever seen ! no doubt they will be big and noisy in WA also, but i've not been there yet :P when you would disturb the swarm hanging around a chunk of mince, i swear it sounded like a F1 race starting! but THEN, after our attention on the flies waned i actually noticed my poor 3 baby girls! it looked  like, no word of a lie, that they had broken out with measles or chicken pox or something spotty! but the funny part was, only half their face was covered! you could almost 'see' the line down the middle where their faces had been on the pillow :) their poor little legs had been hammered! thankfully it hasn't caused them ANY discomfort at all. Why only the the 3 little girls you ask? well Samuel and Lily sleep in the cab of the truck,and samuel 'politely' informed me that they have 'younger' blood then me, plus i actually keep a blanket on at night ;D I am soooo wishing i had a photo of them, but the 'effect' is almost gone now,

we did eventually pack up and leave - by about 9:30am ! a BIG improvement on all previous attempts, things are looking up thinks mum...........

To Be Continued........

alas i must leave it at that as i have 2 baby girls awake..... spoiler alert..... who are sick and whingey :D

but i will leave you with another spoiler alert an almost real time update of what we did TODAY! rather then 4 days ago :D  

Poor old Sophie was fast asleep, she was pooped!

A little 'icky' this statue in my opinion, but the sentiment is nice:)
