    Hi there Tracie and Jon, I think the most important thing about any caravan park is that the communal facilities are tidy and clean. I was extremely impressed with the kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities. I can imagine that you take advantage of any laundry that you come across to catch up with all your washing especially towels and sheets. For what you get at this caravan site with use of all facilities and power and water connected to your caravan I think the $40 fee is extremely reasonable. Can you imagine their costs in maintaining this site and including their electricity and water bills. It appears that there are some that want everything for nothing! These people need to earn an income as they are noy a charity!!! Well done to both of you for promoting this caravan park, and I hope that many more people travel there after seeing your video.
    This is for Tracie only, and while Tracie reads this, Jon you can go out and check the weather... LOL! 🤣
    Yesterday I thought I would try the chocolate green vegies in hot water... I added a little milk as I would if I were having tea or coffee, and it tasted just like a hot chocolate. The only thing I didn't like was that it was way too sweet for my liking. I do not add any sugar to tea or coffee, and I am not a fan of anything that is sickly sweet. When I place my next order which will be in the next week or two, I will not include the choc green vegies. Reason being that I love eating real fruit and vegies, and I would rather get the nutrients from them than this chocolate powder. Again, it is way too sweet, and I am also thinking that the chocolate shakes are getting a little too sweet for me also. In my next order I am just going to purchase the coffee shakes and the Lady bars.
    You will be happy to know that I am still walking every morning around 6am for about one hour, and then around 9am I walk into town, and then home again. Also, after lunch (real food!!!) I do the 15 minute walking exercise which I really enjoy doing. My weight is slowly going down again to my delight and have currently lost 6.3kg in 35 days.
    Tracie, when you resume your weight loss journey on your other channel after your travels, I will be there giving you support and cheering you on.
    Take care both of you, and happy travelling. Blessings and love. Gloria ❤

      Hi Gloria, We are very lucky to have a washing machine in our caravan. It is a 3kg machine so I can even put our Queen bed sheets in for a wash. Jon rigs up a washing line under our awning for me to hang the washing.
      Gloria, I could only tolerate the choc veges mixed with the shake. Happy to hear you are doing that one hour walk, well done. My feet are not liking this trip so long walks for me are still out.
      Glad you are also enjoying these videos
      Take Care
      BTW Jon is still checking out the weather but not succeeding much with his "predictions" lol

    Thanks for the info, we had thought of a trip out west, and you guys are covering a lot of the places we were thinking about. Good to get the info so we have an idea.

    WOW great park. Considering where you are and the facilities $40 for power and water is very acceptable. The place is a credit to the caretakers the way they keep it spotless

    We would rather stay at a park like that than those Big4 ones that cater for the kids with the huge water park’s. We don’t use those facilities and I did let one park know that when the price was quoted. Oh but there is tennis courts and saunas, don’t use that either. We were payed back I believe as they put us on the worst site in the park. Needless to say we won’t go back, the families with kids can have it.

      We have recently stayed at a Discovery Park and they are doing upgrades "making it bigger and better for all" ... it wasn't bad but it was a splurge for the waterfront site.
      Back to free camping now lol

    • @OurWanderingWays
      @OurWanderingWays Рік тому +1

      @@onlyleavingfootprints it’s crazy the prices they charge, should be separate prices for those that want all those facilities. We don’t. Will be making more of an effort to get into low cost and free on our next trip.

    You tell me where you can stay for $40 a night….nowhere. Usually these businesses are run by bread and butter families. I would support these businesses before the big parks.
