Australian Open of surfing day two

Sunday 12 February

This morning was very sunny with rain
predicted this afternoon. It is now 4 pm
and we are home listening to the thunder.
The sky is very black.

Nikki Van Dyke taking a wave.

10 past 4 pm and it is raining. We made it home
and dry. We were lucky as we were parked
far away.

This boat was patrolling to keep the
free surfers out of the competition area.

Not many seats left in the stands.

Nikki Van Dyke in white, won this
round, she made it to the next round.

For lunch we walked to the Pantry
on Manly beach. We did not have
a reservation but they let us eat in
the bar. We only had a little bench
but a beautiful view.
We did not have a Caesar salad.
I had what look like a salad Nicoise
with tuna, olive, hard boiled egg etc..
but their anchovies were "white anchovies"
they tasted a bit like pickled mackerel.
Claude salad had rocket, pear, prosciutto,
Parmesan toasted pine nuts etc....
All very nice with a glass of wine.
