    We arrive and check this place over - initial impression from the road not that great, as overflowing bins around the toilet area...
    We drive past this and head out into the open camping area - which does provide lovely water views. Have a debate on whether to keep driving to another camp - but I decide I'm tired (getting grumpy) and it will be nice to stop.
    Choose our park - set up, awning out. Get our drinks and now to relax in our campchairs in the shade and enjoy!
    Tea tonight is tacos, Roger cooks up the mince mixture (adding kidney beans!) outside on the gas cooker, while I chop up the salad inside. This evening we're 'plagued' by little black insects (small enough to get through our caravan window mesh) so we keep lighting to a minimum - I read my book, well away from bed! Roger showers, we've already tidied up, dishes etc so bedtime.
    Friday morning, 10 weeks today since our take off, we get up before 7am to enjoy watching the sunrise over the water. I go for a short walk, return with a left behind Max track. Roger has our porridge ready and waiting. Breakfast then shower for me. Roger keeps busy, dishes and getting us ready to set off for the day. We're underway around 8.15am.
