How beautiful it is holidaying at the beach. Thinking about it, I had high expectations while working the last two weeks, and so far it has lived up to them. Beach is as enjoyable as always. Spend most of my time in the water, emerging periodically to re-hydrate and re-fuel. Surfing is fun, although the experience is very dependant on the waves.
Yesterday Dad, Rachel, Johanna and I went on a “beach crawl” and explored the 5 or 6 nearby beaches. To our surprise most of them were pretty ordinary with pebbles at the waters edge and big drops a couple of meters into the ocean. Although, to give the benefit of the doubt, we might have gone at a bad time. The first place we went to, which was alright, was called Moonee beach. It had a big flat body of water (where most people were) in front of the beach. We went back there today and took the surfboards out to play around. It was good practise surfing, especially being on the boards in flat water, similar to what you are out the back.
The food has also been really good, and I mean really, how to go wrong with good food and beach?
PS. All the kids have rip-sticks and I’m pretty jealous. I’ve never tried one. Just want one for a day or two to get the hang of it, then do nothing.
