Camping?

We headed out to Cleaverville to meet up with Mel, Oak and Charlie this Easter ... though it wasn't quite the trip we'd planned.   Mum and Dad said they had to "set up camp" so we found some cardboard and spent a while taking our toys for a ride down the sand hill...

And the view was pretty nice...!

It all started off so well.  We were in the "Eastern Wing", with glimpses of the ocean...

and caught up with Charlie over a nice camp meal of noodles....

I guess on reflection it all turned strange after dinner....

The bath was a bit different....

No tub, no sitting, just a "camp wash" Aunty Mel said..

But it was after this that the real torture started....

SANDFLIES!   AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Here's how we looked by morning...

Bitten to pieces and barely a wink of sleep.  Aunty Mel said she was smiling coz she was delirious.

Ahhh well.  No point whinging about a few dots... gotta keep on, there's dogs to be fed you know...

              We packed up that morning and were all relieved to get into some air cond, tv and showers.
         
                                                     Ahhhhh the great  INDOORS!
