Well today was our big day. With a 3pm handover I was a bit nervous that we would have hassles and not be able to get it but all went swimmingly smooth (the couple beside us didn't have such good luck but I might relay there story later when I have a bit more time.)
So being complete noobs we got the full rundown on everything and I think I have my head around most things now, I was a bit worried about cramming it all in but so far I've remembered everything I needed to.
Getting settled into a cp has been a hilarious (after the fact) job though. When I googled cp's in the area I found a couple of good looking ones in the Anna bay/one mile beach area and found a link to the active holidays cp in what I thought was one mile beach, that's were the fun started. After we got away from jayco (5:15 or somewhere thereabouts) we started out for Anna bay, seeing as I was going to cut it fine to get there by 6 we gave the number a ring again and organised for them to leave us an after hours checkin pack. Anyway we got to the active holidays park at Anna bay at about 5 to 6 which I thought was perfect, that was until they said
"we have never heard of you!"
Well after a few minutes of head scratching they finally realised what my problem was, it turned out that even though I was looking at the active holidays one mile beach in Google I had got the number for active holidays soldiers point! So not a real big problem but it was a 15 minute drive or so to get to the park I had actually booked into.
So that was all good, we got to the right park and got our late checkin pack and got through the boom gate. Then I miscounted the turns and ended up a skinny lane with only cabins:doh:, well that had me laughing in an exasperated sort of way but it was a relatively easy fix. SWMBO got the job of getting out and keeping an eye out for kids and I backed out fairly promptly with only one onlooker coming up to have a grin lol. Anyway I carefully checked the map and found the right lane and we got into our spot without further ado.
Even though it isn't where I wanted to be this still seems like a very nice cp with beautiful newish clean and tidy amenities and, even though it is school holidays and it seems fullish, the crowd is very quiet which is a pleasant surprise.
I've been a bit busy so only have one photo but I will try and get some more once we hook up and head home tomorrow afternoon sometime, I'm tired enough to sleep on the floor so I don't think I will be complaining about the mattress tonight!
