A bit of a rest day....

We headed out late today as one of the boys slept in ( we all know which one that was, don't we)....I headed out for a walk early and walked all the way into town up the hill and then back again...the ferry was just coming in as I got to the wharf...there was even a horse waiting to board when I came back...looked pretty funny standing in it's float....We went round to Kingscote and Emu Bay, checked out the lavender farm had a lavender scone, different...went to the eucalyptus farm didn't buy anything there...we brought some lavender and aloe stuff for my leg...stupid jelly fish...

Drove the car onto the beach only to see a Mazda 3 come screaming past, so much for a 4wd on sand.....had a swim in the crystal clear water without any jellyfish (thank goodness) and the speed boat thing came flying past with everyone waving at us...not sure if they thought we were beached....

It was 38 degrees here so we headed back to Island beach that the lady in the information recommended must have walked 200 metres before it became waist deep...the water was just fabulous..came back to do some washing and the boys went down to the harbour....

Fish and chips were had for dinner, Greg and I had King George Whiting, yeah not as good as I thought it would be...Dan had flathead it was lovely and Ethan had salmon...the lady that owns the fish and chip shop was telling me that she only works October to April and then heads home to the UK and Europe to spend all the money that she makes in those busy months...they are also having a Ultra marathon here next year if anyone is interested...just a tip it's pretty hilly so it won't be pleasant...they had their first marathon this year...no parkrun as yet...that's probably good as it is very hilly....having trouble with the photos again....

Miles and miles of nothingness...
Parking space sorted...
Hahaha...
Ever had to move a silo?
Well that's the way you do it...bet you haven't seen anything like this in the city.
A very hot Emu...at the Emu farm...
Weird cows they have here...
