Hooray, Amy was having the baby today, so we were really
glad we were only going from one caravan park to another about 6 km closer to
the city and had no problem with phone coverage waiting for the big event. Not
long after we had settled into van park number 2, the phone call that we were
waiting for came…….it’s a boy. Thomas Michael Harney all 8 pounds 11 ounces of
him. Mum and bub doing well. With all that hard work over, just had to go to
the shops and buy some baby boy clothes to send home. Hope it gets there before
we do on Monday!
Then the serious part of the day, off to the airport to pick
up the hire car and drop our car at the mechanic. We had ordered a Corolla size
care but they were short of smallish cars so upgraded us to a Kia Carnivale –
an 8 seater like a tarago! Who cares so long as it gets us to Kakadu and back.
Hopefully our gearbox will be out of the car and on it’s way
to be rebuilt tomorrow or Friday. Fingers crossed everyone please that it will
all go without any hitches.
Back to the caravan park for a swim but this pool is quite
small and gets very crowded. This park is also really big but has a totally
different feel to the other one. More relaxed and more shade trees here, not as
upmarket and lots of backpackers. They had cane toad races tonight and I’m sure
it was the same fellow that was at Arlie Beach when we were there in 1997. Just
as I was about to get dinner, I turned the air conditioner on and all the power
went off in the park. I’m sure it was just a coincidence but we had no power
for about an hour or so…so no aircon and it’s hot,hot hot.
I’ll be glad to get to Canberra next week for a few days so
I can feel cool again.
