Woke early. Got up and looked out of the window at the blue sky and tiny white fluffy clouds. Admired it for a while and then went back to bed for several more hours of sleep. There is a really nice diner across the road from the hotel and we went there for breakfast/lunch. We sat outside and couldn't help thinking that life really can be good. Afterwards we drove to the shops for beach towels, suntan lotion and other thing that we had no need of in Chicago. Then back to the hotel to change and then a 2 min trip to the beach. The Hotel have a large supply of beach chairs, parasols, beach and water toys which they are happy for you to borrow,
also a huge pile of beach towels so all your needs are taken care of. We set up camp on the beach, it was glorious. As the beach was almost deserted there was plenty of space for us to fly our kites.
Which we did. We also swam in the sea which was cold but very refreshing and I attempted to snorkel. It seemed appropriate to write a Christmas message in the sand which we did and then took a snap
We gathered up our belongings and returned to the hotel to shower and change before going out to dinner. The last time we had stayed here a local Chinese restaurant had been recommended to us and we had had a really enjoyable meal there. So we decided to visit it again. It was only 5 minutes drive away and the food was excellent. There were also huge amounts of it
Then back to our hotel where we made coffee and took it out on to the veranda where we relaxed and made plans for the next day's trip to Bush gardens. Some shots of the Kites (and us)
