2 Months on the Road! Yeah!
My legs were still a bit wobbly
when I woke up after a big day on the water yesterday. As per usual we were in
no great hurry to get moving and while the boys played with their new BFF we
packed up and hit the road around 10. About 5km down the road we went up to the
Cape Spence lighthouse lookout to show the boys where I had been fishing
yesterday and it was great as you could see the boat picking up the pots I
(errr...we) put out yesterday.
It was a nice relaxing drive
through the wheat fields and through ‘Corny Point’ with our destination being
Point Turton where Simon and Matt and their families live. We were catching up
with them for dinner at the tavern tonight and it was also that time of the week
where we stay at a caravan park to do the washing etc; It is a great little caravan park that is nestled on the side of a hill in what used to be the storage area for the jetty. The toilets are right up the front and must have one of the best views of the Spencer Gulf available! We all had a nana nap and the boys
washed the truck in the afternoon before we all spruced up and headed for the
tavern.
We had a great night! It was nice to go out with people who are about
our age and De really enjoyed having a bit of a girly chat with Nicky and Jo
while the boys played with Thomas. The food tasted great and the owners of this
place have got it figured out as to how to get people to come back again. The
meals were HUGE! De had the Chicken Schnitty and it overlapped both ends of the
plate and the mound of chips resembled Mt Kosciuszko! I had a seafood pasta
dish and I couldn’t even help De with her left overs! We didn’t go home hungry
and it tasted pretty good to boot!!

We had a few beers and chatted about
all things fishing until late (well late for us and the fishermen who had to be
up at 4am) and when stumps were called we rolled the 150m down the hill to the
van and collapsed into bed, but at least I had gotten rid of my sea legs!
Tomorrow morning should be very interesting as the only shop in Pt Turton sells Witchety Grubs and we have been told they are great and are heading up there for morning tea tomorrow!
