Today was an enforced rest day, Johanna came down with a heavy cold and was feeling miserable. We made a quick stop at the dvd store on route to dropping Rachel and Jess in town. Johanna spent the majority of the day resting and watching dvd's on the computer, Colin and I snoozed and read and Colin caught up on some work. Funny how the less you do the more lethargic you feel!
Late in the day we decided to all get a bit of fresh air - you can fish sitting down, so fishing it was. The bait used around here turned out to be live worms; guess who did all the baiting of the hooks! They were long, long disgusting things and they wriggled when you put them on the hook, gross was the unanimous vote by all the girls.(we had picked Rachel and Jess up on the way) Our poor form at fishing continued, we only mamaged to loose the bait, not a bite to be had. There were still a few worms left when we gave up fishing so they were set free in the river. More free food for the fish.
The girls did however enjoy watching a couple of dolphins frolic in the river while Colin fished (everyone else had either given up, or never got started, by then) Rachel and Jess have also been enjoying attending the Solid Rock Cafe in the evenings, a beach mission kind of event with live music etc... The surf continues to be poor which is disappointing for Colin and his new board. We had a beach free day today but hopefully will head down to Pacific Palms tomorrow where the surf may be better. There is also a local beach with huge sand dunes at one end, the girls want to boogey board down them. So much yet to do and only two more days here.....
