Great nights' sleep and we are on our way again, well nearly. I need to go and get antihistamines as Scott's leg has swollen up from a mozzie bite and the itch is driving him nuts and mine aren't any better. After purchasing tablets, cream, wrist bands and a click machine (it sends an electric pulse into the bite and stops it getting itchy and infected) I feel armed against the evil mozzies.
We then head to the shops as we might not see many from this point on. Scott gets a DVD player for the car for his Easter; he has been so good in the car, never complaining, although he has every electronic gadget known to man to keep him amused. Alan gets a new TomTom that has the speed camera alert in the hope of keeping his licence. He gets it all coupled up and it takes ages to find the GPS, we are just about to take it back to the shop, when at last it works.
At last we set off, but it's now lunchtime and we are behind schedule, again! Scott and I take an antihistamine and we are out for the count, obviously not the non-drowsy kind. We stop for petrol in Gladstone and disaster, the TomTom isn't working again, it's lost the GPS signal. After messing about with it for 20 minutes and getting no-where we try to find a branch of d*** Smiths where we can change it, who are we kidding, nearest one is 2 ½ hours away and will be shut by the time we get there. It's also bank holiday weekend so won't open again until Tuesday. Alan decides it needs to download an update; luckily we have laptops and mobile broadband so we sit in a car park waiting on the update. Thankfully once that's done it works and Alan has a wee smile on his face again.
Arrive at the campsite, advert said beside river with unlimited grass tent pitches. There were only about two blades of grass on the whole site, it should have said unlimited dust tent pitches Another early night and after taking a Piriton each we slept like logs.
