Our second day of Bliss

Was spent by sleeping in. We were going to get up for the sun rise but upon looking out the window (no glass of course – this is primitive living) and thinking “yep that’s a sunrise – best go back to sleep” – we didn’t actually manage to achieve that goal.
After Dad put the tire back together (first time, so it was slow process), we had a swim and a snorkel on the beach in the morning – the tide was in, so it was deep and crystal clear. Lots of fish (big ones too!).
After lunch Mum had a siesta and the other three went off on a short 4WD through some really soft sand that Dad had discovered on his late night walk the night before. This was a real learning experience for the driver – after a slight moment of panic of not moving - the front hubs were locked in and away we went….
The bay we found is in the background of the photo (can’t find the right words – so have a look yourselves).
We then all headed off to our local beach again (it’s a 45 second walk) where the 3 snorkellers took off again for some low tide reef exploring – the highlight for the girls was 2 stingrays.
Dad then went on a photo shoot of the sunset at the end of the Cape (lowtide) and was very impressed by the rising full moon just below the terminator.
Dinner was a BBQ based around the last of the Mackerel steaks from the Johnson’s (whoo hoo!)
My only regret being here is that our camera cannot take time exposures and thus show all you Bloggers what the place looks like under the full moon.
You’ll just have to come here yourselves to fully appreciate it….
