Saturday 28th September
Today we went in to Denmark and did a quick shop and the tourist drive around town. (I am glad we didnt have the camper on the back at IGA would not have been able to park anywhere).
On our way back to camp we called in to see Green Pool and Elephant Rocks, it was very windy but very pretty. Even with the choppy ocean you could see why locals like the area so much.
Rena and I took the stairs down to go walk through the Elephant Rocks but as the tide was almost all the way in we had to turn around and come back. We would have got slightly wet if we had of went any further.
We then climbed the stairs back up to the top and met James, he was a bit more adventourous than us and got wet but got some different photos of the Elephant Rocks, in the mean time Rena and I walked around to Green Pool and back to the car where we waited for James to return.
After lunch I made a mars bar slice which would help me with a chocolate fix. Haven't had chocolate in so long craving it. At least the mars bar slice is a weight watchers recipe (that's if you can resist it and not eat to much of it "Evil Grin")
Slice made we basically spent the rest of the day relaxing and dodging the cold wet weather.
It rained on and off for most of the day, I am missing my home. We (well Rena & I) are on a countdown now, we both can't wait until we get back to warmer weather. 15 degree max days and freezing nights.
Early night due to the weather, but at least we are out of the wind here.
Sunday 29th September
Spent the day humped up in the camper, was very cold and wet.
By mid afternoon the pre paid broadband stick had reached its limit, so no internet for James for a couple of days.
James kindly erected a tarp over the kitchen so that I could cook dinner whilst it was raining.
After dinner it was an early to bed, to bloody cold to do anything else.
Fully clothed and under all the blankets, James even put the thermal blanket on the roof of the camper in an attempt to make things warmer.
Monday 30th September
We packed up camp with the sun trying to break through the clouds.
We headed back out on to the highway and James drove past the Honey Winery, which was just as well, as they had honey ice cream mmmm mmmm :)
Anyway we took the Albany scenic route and then side tracked out to West Cape Howe, we drove in to the Cosy Corner West day use area and had a look around, nice spot. Back in the car we drove to the Shelly Beach lookout which had a nice outlook. Then down to Shelly Beach. This is a very remote campground, I don't think I would like to be here in this weather. BYO everything.
As we had the camper trailer on the back we decided that we would not take the 4WD track to Torbay Head and the walk to the most Southern point in WA. The wind was quite brisk and the track look rather well used and sandy.
We then drove back to Cosy Corner East and found a spot and set up camp. The spot we chose had prospects of sunshine, so we were happy.
After setting up camp we sat in the sun eating lunch before the clouds came back overhead again and blocked out our sunshine.
Rena helped me make a cake and had great delight in licking the bowl. The joys of childhood.
The cake turned out really well much to Rena's delight. (Dreampot, wonderful)
