Esperence: Enjoying the views...

Still in Esperance having a break from driving and waiting for my Glasses to arrive(Will be Monday now)  ,I also had to wait until this afternoon to get the water heater looked at and for another Electrician to have a look at the bus electrics as the first one couldn't find the problem.Sidney the electrician from South Africa came to the rescue,He was fantastic not only did he find the problem he was also very easy on the eye and an all round nice guy.Sigh!
Anyway i now have to stay here for another week as the water heater needs a part and it will take about a week to arrive so quite happy to hang here for a while.
Just as i was about to leave, Troy the guy checking out the water heater, suggested i should get a reverse camera and i proudly declared "I already have one" and he said "Then how come your bike rack is all twisted?" "WHAT". I went and had a look and sure enough my bike rack was askew and the front wheel of my bike was bent out of shape,I couldn't help but laugh as it looked absurd.
I remembered when i parked last I reversed back and i was looking at the tree behind but hit the gutter so assume this may have been when it happened so i think i need a bit more reversing practice as it could get costly in repairs.
The beaches here are some of the best I've seen and the views amazing and the colour of the water is that blue it doesn't look real.

I have also found another caravan park which is much nicer and Rowan the park manager was happy to negotiate and has given me a great deal.He is only charging me for every second night which has made the accommodation quite reasonable.
Rowan is also from Melbourne and just moved here himself a few weeks ago and would you believe he also has a Jack Russell who is not only the same same age as Meg, he is also an epileptic.
