It's a beautiful day...

Sunday, bang on a week before I jump on a plane and fly to the US. And as if the idea of leaving wasn't already bad enough, a couple of Friends (Wendy (Ex Tour de France Rider), and Des (Bike shop owner and local legend)) took us out for a perfect day.

We started the day off early with a drive up the coast to see and feed some wild Dolphins off Tin Can Bay. Luckily for us, a beautiful 2meter long dolphin had swum in for a feed and to say hi to a few two legged land creatures.


Once our little friend had had enough of us, she headed back out to deeper waters and left us to go and have breakfast and a coffee... and as usual in this part of the world, we had a great view over breakfast!

From there we headed to the stunning Rainbow Beach, known for it's naturally coloured sands, and had a swim in the crystal clear and calm ocean... once again, littered with great views. Rainbow Beach... stunning!

After the swim we headed out into the "bush" a little and had a look for some creatures... sadly, or maybe luckily, the nearest we came was to this Crocodile warning sign.

Crocs... and I'm not talking about the shoes!

Can you say: Crocodile Dundee?!

As if that wasn't enough, we then went back to Wendy's for swim in the pool with a nice refreshing cold beer in hand, followed by the traditional Aussie BarBQ...Wendy likes her saussages.

Ahhhhh... Christ I'm going to miss this!!!!

The perfect end to a perfect day!

Sim,

Hurry up and get on the plane to Northern Virginia before all of the snow melts. I would not want you to miss the fresh pack of snow we just got on Monday. Nothing is more beautiful then waking up to a winter storm and having to jump on your trainer in the dungeon(basement).

Hope to see you soon,
Squirrel
