We had a splendid day!!! We got up and headed out into town where we ate brekkie at the Rock Pool restaurant off The Strand. Lots of folks swimming, lounging, bbq’ing and just generally enjoying a perfect day outside. We walked around a bit after we ate and watched some lifeguard lessons (we think) and just totally enjoyed the beautiful day. We then headed north of the city to the Pallarenda Cove area and found some places to explore a little bit more. They do kiteboarding there because of the calmer surf and we saw several out but didn’t stop to take in the sights today much. We will save that for another day. We did stop and hike a bit through a couple areas and there were tons of trails and beach areas that we will go back to later. I was glad to get out in the fresh air a bit and enjoy some time with Chris —–I know he is usually pretty tired by Saturday so it was nice to do it at a leisurely pace today.
Now it is back to Saunders Beach for a nap and then a walk on the beach at low tide, grilling steaks on the barbie for dinner and maybe a little movie tonight! Life doesn’t get much better than this. More tomorrow!
