Day 64 Monday 15th August

It was time to leave Coral Bay so we woke to a beautiful calm morning with no wind! It could have come up later though... We traveled south to Carnarvon without any problems, arriving at the  Wintersun Caravan Park before lunch. After delicious pizzas for lunch made by Hanna we took a scenic drive around the town  and surrounds. We saw the mile long jetty, tram line and tram museum but decided against walking the jetty or taking the tram as it was $5 to do the walk and  $10 for the tram. After our tour, Ray and Hanna then took us to a banana and vegetable plantation that belonged to a friend of their's. We had a walk around the crops of tomatoes and bananas and then made some purchases at the little stall. We headed back to town to do some shopping and following this Rob and I called into another shop on a plantation and I had a frozen, pure mango icecream and Rob a frozen strawberry icecream. Yum. Back at the caravan park, Paul, Heather, Ray, Hanna, Rob and I and booked into the special &Monday Spud Night dinner& that the park runs. For $10 you got a huge spud with a huge choice of fillings as well as coleslaw etc. An icecream dessert was also included. We walked down to the huge recreation shed snd couldn’t believe our eyes. Inside there were 4 long, long tables full of grey nomads wating for dinner, drinking and chatting. There were several more tables outside too. The whole thing was extremely well organised and very efficient. They cooked well over 200 potatoes in a huge oven that was close to where we were sitting.  Looking at all these people, it was quite scary. We decided we couldn’t possibly be as old as they were  and I think we tried to tell ourselves that we're really not in the grey nomad demographic.....
