Diary Entry – 08th August 2024

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!!

Welcome to todays diary entry! Well what a bloody gloomy day it has been to day and a spanner in the works of me getting the awning down dry and packed away ready for wagons roll tomorrow at 5am so will have to get up early and packed away early so we can get away early. Sometimes the traffic can be absolutely shambolic coming back from here and i want to avoid it at all costs if i can but we will just have to see. I should really knowing the weather wasn’t going to be great today took the awning down yesterday whilst it was dry.

This Cheeky Boy!

The only thing with that would have been i would have been itching to go yesterday or even on the day the awning came down if i had of. I am nightmare for just wanting to get the drive done once i know it has to be done. Hence being able to drive from Birmingham to Morocco in less than 4 days. Just get it done is my moto. So the hoping that the rain was going to end this afternoon never really happened so we went for something to eat and a game of bingo and a couple fo drinks as well in the Deck Bar down by the main area.

Including the main entertainment area there are 3 or 4 different bars where you can have drinks from which is nice because it gives you options rather than just going to the same place every night. To be fair we have actually preferred the deck bar as it just seems better. They do a happy hour from 5 till 6 with 20% of drinks which makes a massive difference to be fair. They also do a bit of bonus bingo as well and unfortunately our unlucky bingo streak at Bingo in Newquay is still going.

We had agreed as 2 couples (me and Lisa, my sister and brother in law) that if we won bingo we would split it in half. We took it in turns to buy the tickets and i think it is probably me that is cursed and that is why we never win because i never win anything. I couldn’t win a hernia me. The good thing about the deck bar is that is is still under cover so despite the almost constant rain today and actually it has been really quite windy as well. But despite all that it is under cover out of the elements but still really bright and airy and always down wind from the food stall that has the best chicken tikka masala in the world.
