Saturday 24th May.
After settling in yesterday, connecting to 240 volts and fresh water to the motorhome we made our way down to the thermal pool. Just a short walk of 2 minutes along a new raised metal platform, through the hundreds of tall palms and pandanus plants to the crystal clear, warm pool.
Entry and exit to the pool was made quite easy for Gail as there are three sets of steps and hand railings. After an hour in the pool it was time to throw on shorts and singlet and make our way to Happy Hour at the park. There is a huge outdoor bar, separate stage for entertainment and a nice outside bistro. During the tourist season there is some form of entertainment every night. It is just so lovely to sit in the balmy breeze, sipping a drink and generally just taking in the relaxed atmosphere.
This morning we did two loads of washing in the park's machines and hung it out to dry which didn't take long at all in the 30 degree warmth. We washed just about everything, doona covers, sheets, pillow slips, tea towels and towels etc. Then back to the pool for another session of warm water before lunch.The warm water is doing wonders for Gail's back and she is no longer walking with the aid of her walking stick, so as we have plenty of time up our sleeve we have decided to stay until next Friday, making this a seven day stay.
Most people seem to be here for just the one night or in some cases two nights then move on.
We are situated on a very large site which is screened on one side by tall greenery which makes a nice backdrop when we sit outside for a cuppa or whatever.
We initially paid for three nights and received a 10% discount! but then when we paid the extra for the next four nights we only had to pay for three as they gave us the seven day rate which is equal to six days. This was on top of the earlier 10% discount, so we were quite pleased.
Being Saturday night we went to the outdoor restaurant (read Bistro) for dinner and a nice bottle of wine. The music tonight was a female singer who changed costume after every second number.
Not what you expect in a remote area. She drank rum and coke constantly between brackets and as the night progressed she became almost listen able.
