Fun Times

Weather conditions were still rather cool so we were in no hurry to get down to the water. Instead Andy and I headed out for a mountain bike ride together while the kids hired bikes and rode around the caravan park.



Following a leisurely coffee, we made our way to Blue Pool at Bermagui. Nestled in at the base of a cliff, Blue Pool is a magical spot. Armed with snorkels and goggles, we were on the lookout for any form of marine life and were successful in spotting several types of fish in the deeper section. Occasionally a wave would crash over the concrete wall, filling the calm ocean pool with white water and bubbles - natures own spa! Al and Andy cranked out a few laps while the rest of us floated around enjoying the much warmer conditions than our last visit in April 2015!







After basking on the rocks to warm up, we retreated into town in search of the famous Gelati shop. On arrival, we were all devastated to see that it was no longer there, only to discover that the Bermagui Gelati Clinic had relocated to the wharf area! It was hard to narrow a decision down to two gelato flavours as there were so many yummy ones to choose from. 

Behind the shops, the local farmers markets had set up their produce. We purchased the world biggest cherries (yes the guy was joking Ella!), umm plums grown in Young and they were delicious. At the next stall, we were pleasantly surprise to bump into former Canberra orienteer Graham Turner, who some years ago had purchased and moved to a property in the area!

The afternoon had disappeared and so it was a quick stop for dinner supplies before driving back to Tathra. Post dinner, we enjoyed beachcombing as the sunset set.
