Good evening,
Our last night at the resort. Well that's the plan unless something untoward happens.
The packing is just about complete although there seems to be some clutter in the room still. The packing news is the new roof bag looks pretty good. The old roof bag now contains the swag and will be strapped on top of the camper. I shall take a picture tomorrow. The only sour note was I managed to almost flatten the battery in the pajero. It was struggling to turn over. However I was able to operate the overide for the 2nd battery and there was just enough oomph to start the car. Both batteries were boosted on the charger.
This evening encapsulated the attraction that holds people here. Just before the appointed time for this evenings drinks, Selina, Doris and Aisling knocked on our door and gave us a video to watch. It is presented below. They apologised for the sound quality. The opening music is supposed to approximate Fawlty Towers and the whole thing is a bit of a take off of our training video "How to clean a room". It is one of those special presents that money can't buy. They are funny girls. Phil and Amanda provided drinks and nibbles as a farewell to us. The food was good. The highlight though was the UNO game with about 9 or 10 players. I wish I had taken a video. There were so many laughs. The helpers are what we will miss most. There are not many bad eggs amongst them. Remembering of course my Chinese nickname of "lau haui dan" which is politely translated as old bad egg but in fact is less polite. It has certainly been an interesting experience.
On to tomorrow and we don't have a plan of where we will stay tomorrow night but I am sure we will find a place for the swag. Selina also leaves tomorrow and if we have enough space we will drive her to Hobart. We won't know until we load the last bit of gear.
Farewell Parsons Bay and to the people we met here who made it fun and interesting. We hope to return in the near future.
Cheers Simon
