Today we had a really quiet morning, with a long sleep-in. We took a bit of time to get our bearings around the place and play some table tennis and pool, before starting a jigsaw (The edge is done except to 3 pieces) and doing some shopping for supplies.
Since the day was sunny (even though cold) we decided to make the most of the rain-free day by seeing a bit of the Peninsula. Cape Schanck is not too far from where we are staying, so we thought we would go and do a couple of short walks there and see a bit of the coast.
The Cape Schanck lighthouse towers over the cape, and could be seen from a number of spots along the boardwalk down to pebble beach and back (along with a busload of Asian tourists and some white browed scrub wrens.
Then we decided to go and have a bit of a walk closer to the lighthouse and took a stroll around the group of buildings there. By the time we finished up it was getting pretty chilly. It was even chillier when we decided to go for a walk in the dark to find tea at the golf course next door. Sadly they were closed, so there was no joy there. It was good to come home to a warm home, warm up our ears and noses, and to be able to cook up dinner without having to go out again.
We have done well with our selection of holiday time. The Commonwealth Games is on, so we might even get to see some of the competition this week while we laze around the place. (Or maybe I will see some, while Trevor goes out to do more walks- I’m currently trying to persuade him that I am not ready to do a 12 km walk tomorrow to Point Nepean yet.)
The weathergirl on TV tonight said it will be VERY cold for the next few days and we can expect a bit of rain in the next week, so we will need to try to pick our times to do our walking. Luckily we both brought our raincoats with us, so we should stay reasonably dry even if we get caught out.
