Today we have had a very slow day after our big hiking day yesterday. We had a late breakfast, enjoyed a morning of reading, chatting and just relaxing. Believe it or not, a very strange phenomenon for us. Hopefully one we can practise a little more as we continue our travels. After lunch we went for another walk to Monkey Beach for a snorkel but the wind was too strong on the beach, so we just relaxed a little until the sand blowing over us became too annoying. We then rock-hopped around the headland to Shelving Beach which was a little more protected. We may snorkel here tomorrow if we have time. We then rock-hopped around the headland to Fisherman’s Beach where I had a swim in the protected corner and then we headed back for a further rest. We had a lovely dinner out tonight at the Bistro in the accommodation next door.
- A lovely colourful fungi on the trail to Monkey Beach..
- ..it was still beautiful at Monkey Beach even in the wind..
- ..such beautiful water..
- ..as we rock-hop around to Shelving Beach..
- ..it was further around the headland than we thought it would be..
- ..the water is a lot smoother here than Monkey Beach but the tide is a little too high for snorkelling today..
- ..looking back to Shelving Beach..
- ..as we rock-hop around to Fisherman’s Beach, the rocks were varied..
- ..it was very pretty..
- ..and a lovely swim in the corner out of the wind at Fisherman’s Beach..
