I'm back, phew that was fast.

Right, going to go with "The Old School Cafe" at Pakawau, I've never been there (well once when I was about 6), will be good to check the place out, I hope somebody knows the way so we don't get lost.

So then, fella's and felless's, we'll all be seeing each other soonish...like 9 days!!!

Whoop, whoop, I get a whole weekend off with no children and no responsibility, just me!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so for my thick brain.
1/ there is a kitchen we can use on site with a microwave oven
2/ are the plates and cutlery available.
3/ The only bedding needed to be bought , min, is a sleeping bag.
4/ chook chasing is going to be an event sat night
5/ $15 cash is required for each night , thus $30 on friday will be ok, if I get there.

Fully equiped kitchen and I'm taking up my BBQ.

Cutlery etc all in the kitchen.

Bedding...sleeping bag is fine, plus PJ's.

Chook chasing will commence Saturday morning as the rooster crows.

$15 per night is correct....and you'll make because you'd be a fool not to.
