Monday 13th February It's me birthday

So we wake up to another cloudy morning, but as we've come to realise this could all (and usually doe's) change. Woke up on the floor this morning, seems like the air bed may have sprung a leak or I may not have tightened up the stopper properly. It's seven thirty here but that don't stop Lin skyping the kids to wish me happy birthday. That was good, had Steven, Roxanne and Billee all on at the same time, the noise of them all trying to sing happy birthday with the time lag will make one birthday I wont forget Kouy can't get to a computer just yet, still, can't have everything. Right, up and out, had a bit toast and stolen jam (handy those help yourself breakfasts at the "y") and on into town. Nice place, very quite and everything seems to be by the water, with beaches and inlets everywhere. Like most of these coastal towns, everything seems to be geared up to fishing, boats and tackle shops all over the place, so as Lin makes for the shoe shops, I nip in to check out what I can't carry on the bike in the tackle shops. We sort out some grub for tonight and back to the campsite. Just behind the tent is a small inlet, so I grab me rod (fishing kind) and pop round to have a go. Who could ask for more, standing on a sandy beach, sun beating down and me rod in me hand (still fishing kind) and to cap it off, I caught something, (that'll teach me to stand there with me rod in me hand) don't now what it is, but its small and spotty (I know what Row's thinking, pack it up). Sod it, no bloody camera, oh well, plop it back in and back to the tent to cook tea. Lin's having fillet steak, onions, mushrooms and baked potato, I'm having the same but kangaroo steak. Tell you what? I recon we haven't seen a Roo cos the locals have eaten them all, Co's it go's down a real treat. Washing up done, we,re back at the tent and Kouy skype's. What a great end to a great day.

Miss you all more than ever, especially today. Love ya John and Lin xxxxxxxx
