Glen and I are trying to keep things under control in the weight department by going for the odd walk and run!!!! I think we are fighting a losing battle, however, the early mornings are so beautiful and it is nice to have the time to enjoy exercising, without having to rush to get ready for school and work. Exercising is always easier in a different environment and everyone out and about, is very friendly.
So today we decide to take a boat cruise up the Blackwood River. We are too many to hire a 4 man dinghy and anything bigger we need a skipper's ticket, so we decide to do the Sea Dragon Boat Cruise. We climb aboard with all the Greeks, Japs and Italian tourists, thinking we feel a bit strange being a tourist in our own country!!! A female skipper stumbles aboard in a bit of a rush, thermos, styrofoam cups and assorted creams under her arm. Yesterdays bin still full and a PA system that she can't get to work. It was a nice leisurely cruise up the river but certainly not worth the $100 it cost to take the family. Kids are more interested in how many biscuits they can eat for morning tea, than the commentary we are getting over the very "dodgy" loud speaker. Oh well, you win some you lose some!!!
Another afternoon is spent walking around to the trampolines and mini golf, an entertainment centre that has slot cars, space invaders games and pin ball machine, we all love it. We watch the kite surfers and having a crack at catching some whiting. It's my favourite time of the evening as all the families are out, the wind is minimal, the kids ride their bikes, there are dolphins frolicking close-by nearly every arvo and everyone is having drinks and nibblies on the foreshore with their families. We can't believe how lucky we are with the weather, days have been mid to high 20's and there has been no wind, I didn't think Augusta had "windless" days. Very lucky.
