DAY 21

DAY 21

11^th July

We woke up to a thick fog, but the rain had stopped, a day of rest ahead of us. Everyone seemed quite relaxed and cheerful. I went for a walk with Mike to confirm times for the paddleboat and then we all had nice casual relaxed breakfasts. Jamie and Haley were as thick as thieves exploring the gardens and making a house for a little green tree frog that Bruce had found. It kept them busy for hours.

Some sunshine actually forced its way out and so did the chairs and the books. We enjoyed soaking up some of its warmth. I even managed to get our swag mattress dry!! Freemans and Williams went into Bourke to check it out. Jordan spent some time skyping  Lucy and Brendan (whoo whoo).

At 3pm we all headed off for an educational cruise on the Darling River, aboard the PV Jandra. The kids though this was great. Bruce’s people mover came in handy as he taxied us down to the river bank to avoid the mud track that took us down there.... thanks Casper J

We all had a drink and BBQ dinner at the camp kitchen as the camping ground’s planned camp fire and poet’s night got cancelled due to the wet. We enjoyed talking to Nanny and Pop and Grandma and Grandad on the phone. It was a very enjoyable and relaxed evening.
