Canoeing in the Royal National Park

Sunday 20 November 2009

This morning we decided to go Canoeing.

So I pack up sandwiches, fruits, water

Celery for me and a chocolat bar for Claude.

The poor man had to force himself to eat it, I bought a packet

to put in Mykaela's advent calendar

and they were too big they did

not fit in the pockets

The Royal National park is really nice in the morning.

Lot of wild life, lots of birds.

After our canoeing we went for a drive to

Wattamolla beach. Nice place, we will have

to come back one day during the week,

When it won't be so crowded.

Some young people were jumping from the cliff .

This guy made it back up.

He is wearing the same shoes that Shane did

When he used to go rock climbing.

Wattamolla beach.

The group of people on the right near the

water hedge are some women wearing

sari I think and some dresses over trousers.

The men were in the water...

Claude and I walk along the beach to seat on a big rock

on the over side....

When we walked back...

The women were all in the water fully dress,

one was still wearing her long scarf .

Good for them, they were having great fun,

but I was wondering how they were going back home.

Last night, after Mykaela school concert, we

took Amelia home with us so that Jo and

Shane could have a romantic evening.

Those bath photos are taken at 6.30 AM

Last night Amelia fell asleep in my arms

while drinking her bottle.

So I put her to bed without a bath.

And after the hot busy day she had at the

concert she needed one, poor kid....

Jo and Shane came to collect her at 9 am

with croissants for breakfast.

We are all full.
One croissant remained.
They were huge.

E.T. phone home....

The Rainbow Lorikeets came for a feed.

When I have Amelia we go every morning to feed them.

They came to Jo

Amelia is not scare of them.

She love watching them.

But this is the first time they are so near.

We could take the photo, but Amelia took

a bit of the croissant Jo was feeding to the

birds and....yes
