The Big Holiday...... Day 9

After the full-on day at Sea World, we have opted for a “quiet” day today. In fact our plan all along is to do the theme parks on alternate days, with a sort of rest day in between.

Dropped Lorelle off at Pacific Fair – a huge shopping centre on the Coast and then returned. She wanted to get into some of the big shops as she has trouble getting clothes to fit her tiny size in Warrnambool.

On the return trip I found an Internet Café that had wireless that worked really well. That’s why, at last, days 3 through 8 have finally seen the light of day. Got all my e-mails away which was a load off the mind. Didn’t put too many photos up because they were too large – took too long to upload, and Blogspot would only let me put one or two up for each day.

Rob & I then took Ben & Chloe back to the Tweed Centro centre to get some more vital supplies (grog – for Brian & Mazza’s visit on the week-end, of course) and more groceries. We also bought some cheap buckets and spades, which we will probably leave here when we go (space is at a premium in the old work car). Came back to discover that the dishwasher leaks a bit, prompting an unscheduled clean-up

While waiting for Lorelle to call, figured out how to reduce the size of the photos selected for the blog, with the limited software available on the laptop. So, next chance, I should be able to upload all the photos without too much trouble. She eventually ran out of money and gave us a call, so Chloe and I were off doing the chauffer bit.

Not much left to do for the day – think we have run out of time to try out the buckets & spades. Will probably continue the cards, which Lorelle is leading by about 200 points.
