Day 21: Some REALLY good burgers!

 

Our lunchtime burgers were really good! The kids opted for nuggets and fries :(

There must be a Stofer picture like this somewhere...Lindsay was keen to recreate something ")

We slept in a bit as we were really tired from yesterday, but also super excited to get out to the beach and pool with the new floaties we bought! Lindsay and I passed on our morning coffees to expedite the process and by 10:30 we were on our way!

Floaties are always a hit with our kids - it gives them that "thing" they can play with when they are by themselves, and when they are together, they come up with all sorts of games! We hope that sense of "play" stays with them for many years yet.

The water and sun are still hot at 10:30 in the morning, but it's not nearly as hot as mid-day. With my newly acquired sunburn I kept my shirt on in the water, but as the water is so warm, it's not exactly the same level of "refreshing" that we experience when we hop in a river or cold lake. It's awesome...just different.

Juliet floated the whole time, playing in the surf. James switched it up after a while and instead opted to start making sandcastles (he loves a good sandcastle!) Lindsay tried to read her book, and mixed it up between playing with each of the kids and just floating in the water myself. Around 11:30 we went up to the pool where there is a BIT more shade, and at 12:30 we packed it up to get ready for lunch.

We read about Burger Murderer on Google so picked up iced lattes on the way and walked to it. It did not disappoint! The brioche buns are made fresh each morning and the spice in the burgers was really different and nice. It was quite savoury. The kids decided on nuggets and fries...again...what did we do wrong as parents?!?!

After lunch we went back to the condo and made the kids do some journal entries before we started to get ready for the evening. James was the only one who wanted to go back into the water so while he played in the sand and surf the rest of us sat and watched and soaked in the evening sunset.

Around 6:30 we started our walk down the beach towards the markets. We grabbed some dinner (Juliet and I had carbonara and Lindsay and James had fried rice), did some walking around and light shopping at some of the stalls, and then started the short walk back to the condo.
