A trip down under-Day 3

Howdy!

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday (nothing much happened as we arrived in the morning, caught up with family then went to sleep at 6pm as we were all extremely jet lagged). Although we did get to see my families house (which is amazing) that is right next to the local park and surrounded by palm trees so it almost looks like you're in the middle of the garden. My cousin's little black pug was also over and as she is only 10 weeks old she was tiny and decided to bite everything within reach!

Anyways, back to today. So it started very early at 5am as I went to sleep so early the night before. We were treated to a full English cooked breakfast made on the barbecue, which was very weird considering its the middle of winter (their winter is like our spring/summer) but also yummy! After mum and grandma were back from church, we all went down to the marina to go on their boat down the river!

It was such a lovely day and as the water was completely flat with no waves it was very relaxing. We drove up the river, got off at a few mini beaches, had lunch, caught some prawns to use as bait for fishing, attempted to do some fishing (which was pretty boring as we weren't successful at all) and watched the sunset go down on the river,  which was pretty spectacular and a perfect photo opportunity!

Tonight has been spent eating dinner and playing cards inside with the heating on as it is pretty chilly at night!

Highlights of the day:

-Almost pushing my mum in the river when we were taking a photo

-Completely messing up the scoring table of a card game and having a laughing fit and getting into a delusional state (I won the game though).

-The beautiful sunset over the river and looking at all the big houses on the river that I could only dream of!

Talking of good photo opportunities here is some more pictures from today!

Adios! x
