Sarah - part 2

Well we did indeed wake up early, El and I went for a swim in the pool at the campsite. Whilst Sa slept on. After waking Sa up we all went for breakfast, to be honest it was a pretty poor attempt at an English Breakfast which left us feeling a bit flat. I decided a trip to the market might be a cure for this.
I do enjoy a good market. This was sadly NOT a good market, the look however on Sarah's face when this chap ( who was advertised as the live band) started singing accompanied by his wife, I say accompanied she basically pushed the demo button on the keyboard and he sang his own songs over the top. He was an elderly gentleman and his voice was really not all that good, like I say Sarah's face was priceless.
We decided that enough was enough and set off for some animal sanctuary magic.
The next two days were spent either
1. looking at koala's
2. looking at kangaroos
3. looking at Sarah running around on beaches like a small child
It was a very enjoyable time. We got some great photo's and I will try and get El to post a link.
On the 2nd night we managed to have a BBQ at the camp site and make some really tasty burgers we also met some lovely locals who were cooking up fresh fish on the BBQ and delighted in telling us stories of the economy and the local highlights.
We had a really nice weekend and managed to visit the Penguins without freezing.
We travelled home via the Mornington Peninsula ( I say via it's actually a bit of a detour)
We took Sarah to the hot springs. It really is the best place, so relaxing, and good for you! At least that's what I tell myself. After our relaxing stay in the hot baths we hot footed it back to Melbourne.
The next morning we missioned it off to Aires Inlet - Sarah and I that is, El had to go back to work. Sarah's God mother lives half the year in Devon, and half the year 2 hours up the road from El and I !
We arrived on schedule at about 12 noon ( after a leisurely breakfast in Torquay) Lyn took us for a walk around the Inlet on arrival and then treated us to lovely lunch of cheese and bread and cold meat. We went for a swim ( more accurately Sarah and Lyn went for a swim, I sat on the beach ) We had a really relaxing day and after a refreshing nights sleep, hit the road again. We had the intension of camping at the end of the road and then we would drive back the next day, as it is we made such good progress that we stopped off at all the sights and then came back on the top road. The weather was glorious and it couldn't have been a nicer day for the drive.
We spent the rest of the week exploring Melbourne and manages to get the National Gallery, the library and a couple of local eateries!
On Friday the time came to accompany Sarah across the city to Southern Cross.
I cried all the way back across the city. I have to say that it was the best thing having her to stay, I'd look at her across the room and I just couldn't believe she was really here. Sarah definitely left at the right time. It is freezing here now. I know that you probably don't believe me but let me assure you, last night El and I had a sofa each both of us had a duvet and thick socks on and when it came to changing the channel on the TV neither one of us wanted to venture out of the warmth!!
It is cold.
Well we're half way through the week, we are spending a lot of time at the moment planning our upcoming adventures. This weekend we may go and explore some of the outer suburbs, we may go and buy some winter clothes, I guess you will just have to wait and see.
I hope you like the new blog, I thought it was time for a change.
Much love to you all
