Friday 27th December - Werri Beach

Another nice day, but it turned blustery in the afternoon. Weather was similar to yesterday, with a low of 17.9 and a top of only 27.6. Due to the winds we took the awning down. I'm not sure as to how we'll get out of this sardine tin tomorrow, but I have complete faith in Clive as we'll be heading to Nowra for 10 days.

We went to the Kiama Blow Hole as Clive has never seen it. People everywhere. It wasn't blowing as the seas were too calm. A bit of a disappointment really. So off to the Little Blow Hole. I didn't know this one existed. Clive had read about it in the brochures. This one was better. The spray from it was reaching back into the car park where I was. Clive got caught by it as did all the other people standing right in front. From here you can look across the seas to see the Kiama Lighthouse and this is where the Kiama Blow Hole is located. We then drove around Kiama for a bit, and I took lots of photos. On the way back we stopped in at Mt. Pleasant Lookout.

Clive went for a walk down Werri Beach to the headland. On the way back in the park, he noticed that they do wood fired pizzas. Only $10.00 each, so that's me sorted for dinner.

The big tents, really huge tents, are put on by A Christian Group that run a school holiday program for children. They have different activities during the day and night. Even some free breakfasts and a Mass one day. So that answers that questions about the tents.

We now have people in a tent about 2 metres behind our van. Why they didn't put it further back is beyond me. No sense. It now means Clive will have to adopt a plan B for getting us out.

Thursday 26th December - Werri Beach

19.5 last night and upto 27.0 today. We hope that our family, friends and loved ones had a wonderful day yesterday. We did as we celebrated our first Christmas in the van.

So it's Boxing Day today, and we didn't go to any sales. We just stayed at home and recovered from all the eating. Not that we really ate a lot, but we certainly had sufficient. Not even any pictures today.

It's 8.30pm and our part of the park is pretty full. Lots of tents about and some big vans too. The couple next door can't get TV reception, even with this very expensive aerial they bought in Foster. Clive explained about the TV points near the power, as this is how we have our TV currently working. They don't have the right cable, so will visit Bunnings next time they go out. I said to Clive to tell them to try the office, as sometimes they have leads to the aerial points. Yes they did, so we have done our good deed for the year and they were very happy. $10.00 refundable deposit when you return the cable. We did some washing and watched more vans reversing in. We probably need to get a life.

Clive spoke with the girls and their mother put photos of them in their new dress on FB, but of course only mentioned that Clive had bought them and thanked him. Apparently, I don't exist, as per usual. We are still planning to visit Kiama tomorrow and next week they are forecasting another heat wave. It's pretty windy tonight as our door keeps slamming due to the wind gusts.
