Coorang penninsula

A quick update on our whereabouts since we left Auburn, Clare valley.  We were told to stop in Goolwa which is part of the scenic Coorang National Park.  We did not make previous reservations as it was a last minute decision but went anyways.  You can just guess where this story is going.  We pulled up to an I-site to make reservations.  The town and Main Street looked quite nice, filled with fish markets, little shops and coffee shops.  I had good vibes about it until Derek walked out of the information center with an odd look on his face. "Oh geez boys, we may be in trouble." I said to them.  Derek smiled and announced that the ladies in the I-site shook there heads when he asked what hotels were available on the eve before Good Friday.  They sadly told him everything was booked solid except for this one hotel that was being renovated into a retirement complex. He booked two nights and off we went.  And..... Back in the car we went after I quickly did the bed check and saw one bug in the kids bed and a spider in ours.  Gross!!!! That was a first. I ran to reception and demanded our money back.  No problem at all and off to the next city for the night.  This was Victor harbour which is where we had been previously and loved it.  We were able to stay in this brand new holiday home called T'is Bliss.  And it was all that the name declared. Thank goodness.  The boys said this was top rated and were so excited.  It was lovely.  So glad we didn't have to tough it out in the buggy room in Goowla.  Fiona, I was visions of Chris' Quebec story. In Victor Harbour we spent our days hiking  and watching dolphins playing in the water right off shore.

Happy Easter! We just drove 10 hours back to Melbourne so we could spend Easter with the Smith and Aldous families before flying to Brisbane.  Marie and Ian were waiting for us and we were happy to see them.  They are such sweet people.

The Easter bilby and bunny arrived Sunday morning and Derek and I made Easter dinner for all of us.  It was a wonderful evening. We took the boys into Melbourne city to check out the national museum of sports and do a little shopping.  We saw some beautiful gardens and captain cooks cottage.  The boys friends Matthew and Grace dropped in to play who Braden And Carter for a few hours before we headed to the airport.  It was sad for them to say good bye.  Maybe one day we will all meet up again in the USA or Canada or even AUS.  We just never know.
