A lazy start to the morning with two cups of coffee in my sleeping bag, on my couch bed, made by my husband, bliss. It is all about the simple things…
AND a lovely jog around the marina and beach watching clam diggers with my eldest, bliss, bliss.
We had booked two nights at the Charleston Marina RV Park and were, therefore, taking a relaxed start to the morning. Until the Brown boys were unhappy with their breakfast choices and service and it was time to move on…
A quick load of washing (no hurry, we are not going to get our money back) and then time to pack up the motorhome and get back on the road, down the road, 10kms, to The Mill Casino Hotel & RV Park in North Bend.
Along the way, we stopped at Walmart in Coos Bay for Noah and Wes to spend the money Nana and Pop had generously given to them and have lunch in the motorhome, in the Walmart carpark.
Before settling into our new campground we had a nice walk around the antique and gun shops (scary) in timber-producing, North Bend and then a stroll to view the short boardwalk along the Coos Bay.
Onto the RV Park and we have a site overlooking the Coos Bay, with replicas of the historic tall ships the Lady Washington & the Hawaiian Chieftain sailing past and firing cannons. Apparently, historically, Coos Bay built more tall ships than any other port in Oregon and another little fact for you, the Lady Washington has appeared in several movies including, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
An observational note: in Oregon, it is legal for adults 21 and older to purchase, possess and use recreational marijuana. Without sounding too judgemental, you can tell…
A walk down the 200 meter (being generous) RV driveway (walk not the shuttle. Do Americans know what legs are for?) to The Mill Casino for a quick wander through the Casino, the prominent casino aroma automatically surrounding us.
And then across the road to the Momiji Japanese Restaurant for a very delicious Japanese Meal. Pete described it as ‘up there with the best Japanese food’ he had ever eaten. I had to remind him that although it was very good, we have been eating some very average and questionable meals. In comparison to our recent ‘American Food’ experiences, Momiji is the Nobu of North Bend.
In saying that, I was open to staying here another night, purely on the fact we could eat at Momiji Japanese Restaurant one more time…
