Was started by shopping in Chinatown where we discovered some (previously) hidden arcades with a wonderful shady atmosphere and interesting shops, lunch at the caravan and then … yep - back to the beach. Now that the car is fixed we can take the corrugated road shortcut so it’s much closer. Today was much hotter with a very blustery south easterly blowing off the Great Sandy Desert. It got up to 37 today and we all feel a bit sun burnt from lying on the beach and wallowing around in the warm turquoise blue ocean water waiting for the next wave to surf in on…...(we hear it’s a tad cold at home, so gloat we do….)
Isabel bought a new sarong and used her flippers for the first time.
Louisa decided to earn some money last night by serenading the campground with her piano practice – she promptly spent it on hiring a beach chair for an hour. Isabel spent $2 on beach toy set for an hour and so to make the most of it we created, entered, judged and won the daily sand castle building competition.
We then wandered down to the local Nudist beach where Ro got her gear off and frolicked around with all the other like minded souls (this is a family Blog so the pictures are cropped to suit - Thanks for the idea though Darryl).
We then went back home for a couple of hours of Dad making some MAB blocks for Isabels maths studies and Isabel catching up with Oma on the phone.
And now after staying up late updating the day’s events for all you bloggers out there - I have to face a rousing chorus of bird life waking me up when the sun decides to rise in the morning – followed by yet another day of blue skies and warm temperatures.
Life is tough……………
