Drove down to Dunsborough, Bennys old stomping ground, and made it to one of his friends homes about 6ish...just in time for tea with Tina and the girls, Lilly and Arwen :) Aido was at work, an open mic night at the local pub, we did have good intentions to go and check the talent out but didnt make it... First night on the road was camped in their driveway
Sat 10th - Gorgeous day :) Great start to the trip!! The start of the day was spent trying to convince Benny to eat fruit, paper airplane competitions, double-dutch skipping in the drive way and playing with Bennys drealocks... only the girls would get away with it, I do have some photographic evidence below ;) Tina finished all her jobs and we took their sea kayaks out for some paddling and fishing.
Yes we did manage to share a kayak without capsizing!!! Sat arvo Aido had a gig at Caves Hotel in Yallingup so we drove down there to check him and his friends out and had a couple of sneaky pints :) On the way back to their home we had a bit of a de-tour to Coles for a pee stop... very funny story that I kinda dont want to share on the blog but maybe ask us about it next time we're drunk ;)
Sun 11th - Dove to Smiths Beach to check out Lil doing her thing at nippers and enjoyed a splash around in the ocean :) Benny and me then hit the beach in Dunsborough to try out a bit more fishing (minus the kayaks this time), no joy :( Checked out one of Bennys friends new place/business and then headed down to Milup Beach for a quick nanna nap and then everyone started arriving for a barbie, some bongo drumming and fire twirling for the full moon... the girls were frigging amazing at fire twirling, very impressed!!!
Mon 12th - Back to reality for everyone but us (mwaah hahaha!!) so a quick bye to Aido as he left for work and we continued to sleep in his drive way and then at a more reasonable hour up to say bye to Lily and Arwen before they went to school. Had a quick fish with Tina but it was pretty stormy and overcast and we werent getting any bites so we packed up and headed south.... via Margs so I could stop in at one of my favorite winerys, Xanadu, to get some fortified shiraz, yum :) Had a chat with the guy selling it and told him our story, he realised we werent working and so gave us a 10% discount (bonus!) and also recommended some cheaper ports for us to check out :) AND gave us a couple of wine cooling bags... to which Bennys first comment was "Sweet, they're perfect for keeping fish in on the beach!!" We decided to camp on the Blackwood River that night and found a nice little spot, Benny flicked his rod a little bit but then it started to rain a bit... then a bit harder.... then a bit harder still.... you get the general idea, so we sat in the cab and read for a bit and then decided to hit the sack early, I mean EARLY, probably around 5ish!! For tea we had crackers, hommus and American Honey, yummy!!!
Single pony?!!
Nah, bunches look better!!! x
