Sunday 28th November 2010

Saturday was heavy rain all day, so we stayed in the van playing cards and watching the rain, no shorts today CB!

Sunday morning was bright and sunny, break out those shorts! So after a large cooked breakfast (Sarah is now known as “4 sausage Sarah”) we set of on foot to explore the area and hopefully wear off some of the calories! We left the camp and set off towards the beach, about a kilometre away across what is usually a desert like natural park but due to all the rain has areas of wetlands now! It must be great for birdwatchers, as we saw so many different species of birds, including two wild flamingos, feeding not 20m from us. We later learned from someone on the camp that on Sat there had been around 200 of them, must have been a bit of a squash! We wondered why these two hadn’t left as well, but decided they probably just woke up late!
When we reached the beach, the noise from the waves crashing angrily on the beach was really loud and very impressive. The wind coming straight off the sea whipped up the spray and sand, I told the girls it was a like a free facial! Great for their complexion!

The afternoon was spent back at the van sitting in the sun and drinking coffee, honest. That evening we could still hear the sound of the waves over a kilometre away, it sounded like a motorway.
