View from the our room at the Clarion Hotel at the Marina

We dropped Ben off in kennels for the night and then went to go to the hotel that Andy had told me he’d booked in town. On the way Andy told me to divert to the Marina because there was a surprise there for me! He had actually booked us in at the best hotel in Mackay, the Clarion at the Marina which is really really nice!! Our room was fantastic - huge with a sea view!
We had a walk along the Harbour Beach at teatime and then ate at the posh restaurant at the hotel and even squeezed in a bottle of wine after swearing I wouldn’t drink again for a long time!

The next morning we sunbathed by the pool and then had a booking for the car to have an initial service at Ford. We dropped the car off, went shopping for a few hours, spent a fortune, and then picked Ben up and back to Moranbah.
