We had both heard of the fun times in Corpus Christi and were very much looking forward to getting there to enjoy some great food and sights. Well we arrived at the Colonia Del Rey RV Park only to realize we had left luxury behind and we weren’t exactly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Much to our dismay we were off the tourist track and seemed to be in a park with mainly seasonal campers. There was a pool, a rather small and unheated one. On-site laundry was about the most attractive feature of the park!
We did meet some neighbours from Quebec, who were also disappointed as they had booked a month there. They shared how they were keeping themselves busy bike riding and, given they had a truck, they went out driving around and eating out fairly frequently. So we decided we would walk. Walk to the grocery store, walk to the ocean, and walk anywhere we could walk to pass the time. This was probably the least enjoyable place we ever stayed. Sadly it left an impression that we never want to go back to Corpus Christi. Which is probably silly. We found a good grocery store and walked there, probably daily, just to have something to do. Fortunately we were only there for 4 days so the time did go fast and we found some great movies to pass the time.
