We packed up very quickly as we were still hooked up to the Mazda. Before we left we said farewell to Rob and Joy that we had dinner with last night.
Once on the about four kilometres before we joined the Mulligan Highway. As we joined it, stopped on a bit of a lay by on the road to replace the air in the tyres on the Mazda. It took only a few minutes and helpers on the road yesterday, Brian and Caroline, paused to ensure that we were not in trouble again.
In no time at all, we entered the town of Cooktown. It only seemed a short time ago that i was here before but it was just a few days over 12 months. We drove down to the Fisherman's Wharf as I remembered the coffee was not too bad at the 1770 Restaurant there. So we had cappuccinos and toast. We took in the sights of the variety of yachts and boats in the Endeavour River.
Then it was into the Big 4 Caravan Park, again this was a location I had stayed in before. Anyway, it was an easy and quick check in and guided to the appropriate site. Again it did not take long to set up.
Our next destination was the IGA super market which is not far from the park. A quick load up of some items and we returned to the Caravan Park. Mostly for a relaxing afternoon especially fro me. Prue walked about a kilometre each way to the swimming pool and did laps. I read my Kindle and my current book.
Late afternoon and early evening, we watched the New Zealand All Black Rugby team beat the Wallabies. I had hoped that the Wallabies may have done a lot better but that was not to be. Next week they play the South African Springboks but that is in the early hours of next Sunday morning.
So ended another day on our trip and our first day in Cooktown
