A Great Night Out

Friends Russell and Irene from Drouin in Victoria are still in the local caravan park with their new caravan on their first real 'trip'.

A couple of days ago Russell bought himself a Navman GPS system for the car. This is going to be a great addition and add to his travelling comfort. It is difficult enough when you are in a strange city or town and don't really know your way around. It is a lot more difficult when you are towing a 20' caravan.

The Navman will mean from now on Russell will just have to enter the name of the caravan park (or any address in Australia) he wants to get to and then hit 'enter'. The Navman provides voice directions to ensure he gets to the exact place he wants to, thus removing much of the stress and pressure of looking at maps and guessing which road he should take.

Russell also bought a Digital TV Set Top Box. We got it up and running on Friday and the quality of the TV picture is now sensational and it is so easy to tune. Each time you get into a new town to stay, you have to retune your TV. Now all he has to do is hit Autotune and available stations are added to the TV.

Last night we had a combined Mother's Day and Wedding Anniversary celebration all together at The Spirit of Tibet Restaurant in Mooloolaba. This photo shows us at the restaurant.


It is a great spot. The food is just sensational with plenty of exquisite flavour, variety and a tremendous side serve of special chilli sauce. It made for a great evening. We had plenty to eat and couple of bottles of great red wine.

The owner of the restaurant (seen here) gets in with the customers and ensures everyone has a great time.

Even though it is now a cooler time of year and well outside regular vacation times, the restaurant was full of happy customers. We always have a booking nowadays when we want to go to The Spirit Of Tibet.


The night concluded with a walk along the shop fronts and then back along the pathway overlooking the sensational Mooloolaba beach.
