Our Travel Adventures: 8th Oct Airlie beach, A night to remember ber

What a bloody night!, and no it wasn't the kids, it was that walk along the sodding beach. We thought the beach was empty cos its not the best beach in the world. Wrong, it was because of the sandfllys. Now these little buggers haven't got the decency to just bite ya, Oh no, they pee on ya. Now that irritates, so you scratch, that opens the skin and the next thing you know, yer itching like ya got fleas.
Three in the morning, Lin's awake and scratching places I don't want to know about, in any case, I got problems of me own. One bugger got me between the cheeks of me a*@e and its driving me nuts. Both our legs and arms are covered with just to many to count and it looks like we both got measles. Luckily we bought a new tube of Sooth while we were out and its going on with a paint roller. Relief at last and we settle back for the night. Well that don't last long, the Whistling ducks (real name) starts up. Now what the hell one duck needs to whistle to another at three in the morning, beats the crap out of me and why his mate on the other side of park feels the need to answer, just defies logic. I swear, if I thought I wouldn't get arrested, I'd give the f*@ker something to whistle about. At long last, everything quietens down and finally we get some sleep.

We wake a little late this morning, no prizes for guessing why. We don't really feel like being around too many people today, it can be a little embarrassing when yer stick ya finger up yer bum for that itch that's just GOT to be scratched, so we potter round the camp. I clean down the trailer, Lin gets some washing done, even the tent gets a tidy. Surprising how soon yer can go stir crazy ain't it, so we hop on the bike and nip to the local shopping centre (shopping centre, ha, ha, ha) and stock up on essentials like repellant and mozzi coils, the coffee's good too and we can scratch under the table without no one seeing. With the feeling of 'release' sated, its back to camp and we book an all day sailing/snorkeling trip for Wednesday, which should be fun cos Lin can't do boats and has never snorkeled before (hey, weren't my idea).
Right, Lin's off to the pool, so I'm writing this up, then gonna find a spot to have a bloody good scratch.

Nite all and two hearts full of love to the kids xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
