Cape Leveque - Simply Perfect

Hello Blogsters.... well our first morning at Cape Leveque was wonderful. We crawled out of bed at a variety of times and had a very, very relaxed breakfast. After 6 weeks and over 10,000 km, we haven't had too much time to relax - so this morning was bliss. After sitting around for a while reading and contemplating our navels we dragged ourselves down to the beach for a swim (Uncle John had taken himself off for a more vigorous walk - the man has clearly lost the plot!) Anyway, the swim was just bliss - someone forgot to turn on the cold tap when they filled this beach up. We lolled about in the gentle waves and generally acted like over-full whales!

After our swim, we came back for lunch (tortillas with salad - yum). We lounged around for a while again after lunch (I think by now you are probably getting the feel of this campsite). Then we let the tyres down to 18 psi and headed off for some beach 4 wheel driving. The drive was fun and we stopped off a couple of times for photos before pulling up on the beach. We then went wandering down the beach collecting shells - the best shells we have seen yet - a big variety of many colours, sizes and shapes. Uncle John wandered down the beach thinking he would go for a swim - but after seeing a crocodile in the water, he changed his mind.

Eventually we drove back off the beach and over to the safe swimming area where we went to loll around in the warm water for a bit longer. Sigh - it's a hard life.

We came back to the camp site and then filled the wine glasses and headed down the western beach to watch the sun-set (a popular past-time up here). The colours of the sun of the red rocks were magnificent- and the sunset didn't disappoint. Mum and Dad even had time for some romance on the sand... ewwwwwww!

After this we came back to the camp for a dinner of BBQ'd sausages and bacon (dad's turn to cook). Soon we will turn in to prepare for tomorrow - another day of the same as today we hope!
