This morning I got up at 7:30 with the sun and went for a walk around the bay. The tide is right out and people are walking about 200m out from the shore, trying to find crabs I think. What a beautiful time of the day. A Japanese man is out on the beach with his tripod and camera, snapping away as the sun comes up. All the grey nomads are up cleaning their car or van or emptying their porta - loos!!!!
I get back to the van and enjoy breakfast and my crossword before the family finally arises at about 9am. It is pretty cold still, only a top of 24C forecast, but it is really only pretty early as far as the sun goes!!
We don't do a great deal today. I spend most of the morning doing bookwork. I am just doing the bare necessities, so I think my first week at home will be catching up in the office. The kids play on the play ground and Glen reads the paper. We are trying to make the most of our final days, as we are very aware that it is all about to come to an abrupt end, however, after 9 weeks of living in the van we are all starting to get a bit "over" living on top of each other. The kids are thinking about their animals and all their friends at school. Glen is thinking about all the things that need doing on the farm and I just long for a normal size fridge, my beautiful big kitchen and our own toilet!!!
In the afternoon the kids do some school work, something they haven't done much of on this half of the trip, they play boardgames and go for a swim. This evening, we have the usual barbi which always includes meeting someone new and sharing travel stories. We do like it here and decide to stay just one more day.
