22 Oct - A relaxing day spent at the Sapphire Valley Tourist Park in Merimbula

What a night - it absolutely poured!  We hoped that the bush fire areas had received some of it.

We had some lovely neighbours called Yvonne & Geoff - they were very sociable & we spent quite some time chatting with them.  Yvonne loves birds & was able to tell us a lot about Australian ones.  She also likes painting & has done some stumpwork, too, so we had a few things in common.

We had free pancakes & cups of tea in the camp kitchen - apparently, they also do a sausage sizzle on Friday evenings (a good way of bringing people together).

I had planned to swim with Yvonne after lunch as there was a lovely pool & hot tub.  However, it became wet & cold, so I stayed in the caravan & brought this blog almost up to date (no mean task, as I had fallen very far behind with it).

At 6pm., we joined Yvonne & Geoff at the local Bowling Club for dinner.  We ladies had Seafood Baskets, which were very tasty & the men had excellent steaks.  After coffee & a chat, we spent a short time playing the Pokies - we didn't win anything & left our friends there still trying to "get lucky".
