It has been 10 days down on the late summer humid semi-tropical east coast in walking distance to the beach.... Willards Beach... If you must know.
This holiday has been a semi-return to childhood as I haven't been caravanning with my family (or holidaying in fact) for at least 2 years.
I got sick and tired of it and put my foot down and said No More and found excuses to not go for two whole years (basically Final year of varsity and not having leave from work - real difficult excuses there)
I just got tired of the concept and the close small living spaces and the family members annoying personality traits...
However this time I decided to come along as I haven't really had a nice holiday in a while and I was needing a break from work. Incidently this family holiday comes just before the new lease on my new place took effect... So essentially 10 days in a tent and caravan closed space with family and then go home and moving out!
And so overall it's been pretty good. The weather was fine and the sea and sand and surf was reasonable and the bickering and disagreements and annoying traits were perhaps easier to ignore. I actually got to spend some pretty quality time with the siblings.
I will complain that There is SO MUCH gear to set up for this camping concept! It get pretty tired and old pretty fast on the first day after 8 hours of travelling and an early morning start to have to endure the bossing around and hot stuffy tent while we get ourselves set up. Enough tables and kitchens and chairs and tents and canopies already! (one always manages to make me bleed)
I will also complain that Enough with the scratching and adjusting and readjusting and itching and sleeping in loose trousers with legs splayed wide Boys! Sies already!
People smelly funny after a while. And their dirty clothes are containers of distilled portions of that weird smell (eeeeuuuwww!)
That's all :)
PS so overall I am sad to be returning to work in two days. Tomorrow is going to be extreme tiredness of travelling and unpacking. bleeuugghh SO SO not in the mood :) Toyota did not take comfort into account into designing the passenger row of the Venture.... (My legs are gonna wanna die tomorrow)
