Its bacon butties for breakfast, showers and a tidy round. Lin aint seen Port Fairy, so it's off into town for a look round. Its a typical ozzy town with one and two story buildings, Quaint shops and as always, the hardwear store. (Bought a bayonnet fitting, gonna make a real light for the tent). Found a nice homemade ice-cream parlour and sat outside with coffee and ice-cream. Postcard bought and posted, we head back to the tent.
You can hear the surf crash against the shore from were we are, so we decide to go and find the beach, turns out, it's only 100yds away, just over a rise. We're the only ones there and have the whole beach, (miles of it ) to ourselves. After walking along it for bout twenty minuets, it dawns on me we haven't been swimming in the sea yet. So off comes me kit, and in I go, (I wouldn't say it was chilly, but I still aint seen me bits yet and that was four hours ago.) No towel, so a naked walk back along the beach to dry off and it's home for tea.
Fed and watered, we sit outside the tent, Lin sewing up the chair, (bits sticking in her bum) and me making me light. We get a txt from Row to say Alffi's craped in her car (not sure it's the cat or someone she met) Honest Row, by the time we get there to clean it up, it will have eaten through the seat and on through the bottom of the car. See, being wonder woman has it's drawbacks, yer just gotta clean up yer own crap. (especially if it aint the cat)..
We can do no more, so we just watch the sun go down until the mossies decide it's lunchtime and we're on the menu and retire into the tent. I try out me newly made light and Im as pleased as punch, when the whole tent lights up. Not for long tho, seems like the crickets also like me new light and start hitting the tent like machine gun fire. Lin's nerve finally breaks and she dives head first into the sleeping tent (the sealed tent inside the main tent) and she aint coming out for anything. Oh well, looks like we could be heading for another one of them nights.....
Coffee, water, relax and chill in Port Fairy (The nearest main town)..... The man himself.
The town is quaint and very 'ozzie'
More of the town..
I post the next post card to Bet, funny shaped post boxes here..what do you think???.I will not repeat how John wanted to describe it!!! but you've proberley guessed anyway. You can take the boy out of the east end , but you can't take the East end out of the boy!!!!!!!!!.
The road leading into the camp.
John has a second childhood moment and finds a slide.. ( and no I did not go on.)..
Yep he walked funny when he got off this one, hey ho....
Me!!!!!! in the sea. Well it as near as I am getting today although the next wave (unexpected of course) did soak me up to my middle, much to Johns enjoyment..
Footprints in the sand, ( I think they were mine actually) and as usual another very busy beach lol.......
John in the 'buff' having a swim, he just can't resist it.!!!
Me off down to the sea.
''I found it !!!!!!" lol
Another lovely sunset, this was taken from the door of our tent. Stunning....
More sunset as new neighbours arrive in their vans opposite...
A man and his blog!!!! lol
Yes John , the new light works well. The flippin crickets really liked it and actually dive bombed the tent for the first half hour, so I jumped head first into the bedroom part of the tent, as its all sealed off and insect free, ( I hope !!!)..... Cuz I kid you not, Oz has got thousands of very large, very noisy and very well fed crickets.. and they keep poppin up all over the place).
