Tues, 5th April - Esperance

We made many phone calls, texts and emails organising and booking tickets for two to go to the V8s at Barbagallo at the end of the month. We contacted Neil and Lynne to see if Neil would like to go as well.  We were able to book a van park not far from the track for a few nights.  Neil and Rick will go on race day and I will go with Rick on the Saturday.  We also spent a good couple of hours on the phone and internet trying to book accommodation in Bunbury towards the end of the month.  It is school holidays and Easter time, so there was nothing available anywhere.  Fortunately for us, Neil knows someone who has a factory where we can park the van over Easter.  Thanks Neil!

In the afternoon we went to Mermaid Leather ... very interesting.  Fish leather ends up being 7 times stronger than cow leather and is really attractive once coloured and made into items such as handbags and pens.

In the evening we went out to a Chinese restaurant with Tony and Sue Lawson and Sue's parents, Bruce and Judy.  The first restaurant we went to was closed ... wherever we go things are closed!! The second one was OK so we had an enjoyable dinner and early night

Beautiful views around Esperence
