27-2-10 Saturday. Today we are having an easy day as we have been sight seeing & driving around all week. We tidied up & washed & after lunch went for a walk down the rock side of Parry’s Beach where they go fishing. The temp today is 26 deg & sunny , bit windy. We had happy hour at our place with Garry & Kaye, Kevin, Larna & a friend Rona & Harry & Shirley. We had a great time & tomorrow it is at Kevin & Larna’s. We cooked tea & watched TV & had an early night. 28-2-10 Sunday Its windy today but sunny, so we headed off to Williams Bay & saw Waterfall Beach, Madfish Bay, Elephant Rocks (amazing) & ended up at Green Pool a beautiful swimming area sheltered from the wind. Den & I had a swim but the water was freezing, it’s the first time I have ever known Dennis to say how cold the water was. After a sunbake we then went home via the Toffee factory which also sold yummy ice creams & “Elephant Rock Ginger Beers” A great place. We got home , I had another cold shower & then I prepared
tea & we went over for happy hour at Kevin’s & Larna’s caravan. Another great night, we all get on so well together. Home for tea & early to bed. 1-3-10 Monday Happy Birthday Val, We did text her, & then we tidied up & washed (again). We went for a walk on the beach to see if the fisherman had started the Salmon netting, but they hadn’t. The season runs from Mid Feb to Mid April, apparently quite a sight to see. The Salmon is used for pet food, not much good to eat. We walked out on the rocks as Gary & Kaye were fishing & caught a King George Whiting , so we talked to them for a while & then we headed back to the van & had lunch & Den went for a fish. (did not catch anything)I had another cold shower at 1.30 , everyone is waking up to the fact the earlier you go the hotter the shower. It has been 27 deg today, with a breeze. I headed over to Larna’s to cut her hair & was rewarded with a bottle of wine & then I streaked Rona’s hair & was awarded
with another bottle of wine & a jar of Special Cream . I tried to Ring Val for her birthday but the phone was dead & would not charge. 2 days later Den took the battery out & it reset itself. We have a phone again. Meanwhile we all had been sipping wine all avo. It was a great avo & then time for happy Hour. I lasted about 2 hours & then I had to go home to bed, no tea, I slept till 1.30 then I was up playing the computer & did not get back to bed till 3am , Needless to say I was pretty tired the next day & starving . I got up late & I was greeted with Gary singing “Oh what a beautiful morning” & Larne & Rona saying they had the wine chilled for me, I copped a hiding, no one to blame but myself. 2-3-10 Tuesday We awoke to the wind calm, a mild 26 deg again, so we decided to go fishing on the rocks, we met Gary & Kaye there already, well I just fed the fish & lost 3 lots of sinkers & hooks & gave up.
No fish were caught so we packed up & headed for the van. We had lunch & Den pottered & packed up a few things & I had a Shower (Yeah it was hot) it‘s been a long weekend in WA & the park had been packed & I had a rest, as my back was playing up a treat. We had happy hour at our place & it was sad as Gary & Kaye & we were leaving the next day. We had 9 days at Parry’s Beach & I would recommend it to anyone. 3-3-10 Wednesday, Today we packed up & said goodbye to all our friends & promised to keep in touch, it is cooler today, so good for travelling. We headed to Albany which was sonly about 90 km & we arrived & booked into Rose Garden Caravan Park at Emu Point $26 a night for 2 days . A nice park with clean amenities & HOT Showers. Well seeing we had spent 9 days in the dirt we had some washing to do. My washing machine in the van did not stop all day & we did 2 loads in the parks laundry. We washed
the girls & cleaned & vacuumed the van & had tea & fell into bed. It was windy & cool at Albany today 22 deg & overcast, but we got the washing dry. We cooked tea & I went to bed with the heat pack.
