round cervantes

the run is finished, we're back at our motel room. ready for a lot of relaxing.

first, morning tea.

we go to seashells cafe, it's in the rac caravan park.

we have iced lattes anda very nice vanilla slice. an unusual vanilla slice. a slight lemon tang, a slightly cakey consistency, delicious.

the cafe has a beautiful view across a small park and the large bay.

the park is called Catalonia. Later Deb finds out about naming.

cervantes was named after a ship that was wrecked. since cervantes is also a spanish author, the town liked to use other spanish names.

we relax over our coffee then, a bit later, go to the lobster shack for lunch.

the shack is large. we share crayfish in a bun. we're still not mad about cray, it's nice but the best part is the mayonnaise based sauce.

we walk along the jetty. the water goes from clear and calm enough to make boating seem interesting, to deep and dark and too scary to consider boating :-) and the wind is blowing strong and cold.

deb has a hankering to visit kangaroo point. all we know is, there's a sign.

turns out the beach is beautiful. calm clear water, clean sand, noone else in sight. we stroll a bit then sit on deep piles of dry seaweed.

we go again to the pinnacles. this time we drive round, much easier though perhaps not as involving.

driving back we go in to hangover bay. it's yet another beautiful peaceful beach but we go there to look for a geocache, which we fail to find.

i get the idea that some cache owners stand on a track and throw the cache into the bush... nice locations but it's hard to find a cache that is just... in the bush.

we visit lake thetis, to see the stromatolites. i think that if only we had some bread we could feed them ... lmao

we walk round the lake. we walk up to hanson bay lookout. we walk and walk... it seems like a lot of walking.

back to the motel.

we walk to the very nearby islands cafe, have breakfast for dinner, no urge to have more seafood...

then back to the motel.

set the alarm for 4:30am. there's another run tomorrow morning.

it's been a beaut day. tiring but very pleasant.
