We managed to find it but Rich couldn’t get a good look,
going to need a boat to get a better view! We set up camp, found a laundrette
to do all our washing when Granma and Grandad arrived – Whoo hoo!
We tried to buy food for lunch but everywhere was closed –
ah well Nutella and jam on toast for lunch.
We tried again later then remembered it was Sunday so no
food for dinner either – ah well pizzeria it is then, what a shame!!
By now we were all hot and bothered so we headed for the
stony beach & very cool lake water – bliss.
The girls went out for a swim while Grandad & Ed played
battleships. Rich wandered down to the beach, saw all the windsurfers darting
about & went back for his kit.
Rich had an amazing afternoon on the water, kids played
beach bat with Granma – everyone was happy.
As we were getting ready to go out in the evening, the black
clouds over the mountains descended, the thunder rolled in & Michael Fish
(aka Grandad) predicted it would stick to the mountains & pass us by.
Soon after the wind rushed past, the tent wobbled
substantially & we decided ot batten down the hatches! The rain hit as we
held up the tent for Rich to peg down outside. Granma distracted the kids with
watermelon inside while the rest of us sorted the tent, disconnecting it from
the van & moving everything which was on the ground into plastic boxes.
After all the excitement the weather calmed down & we
went next door to the pizzeria –all had ad elicious pizza & as the kids had
been angels we even splashed out on dessert!
Granma and Grandad slept well in the van while my inflatable
mattress slowly sank to the ground! I managed to convince Rich to be a
gentleman & swap beds but was still hearing church bells at 1:30am.
Then Amelie woke at 3am for a drink, finished it & made
me go out and top it up – joy!
