Neds Beach

Started the day with a large birthday breakfast at the Anchorage Cafe near the Lagoon followed by a browse in the local gift shops.
Weather slightly cooler today but just as humid so it was time to hit the beach and get wet. Neds Beach was the choice for today. We picked up the snorkelling gear kindly provided free for use by the accomodation owners and got on the bikes for what was mostly an uphill ride.
As we have come to expect in this lovely place the view of the beach was stunning and for once we were not alone. There must have been at least ten other people there. Neds Beach is famous for its fish. Many many years ago someone began to feed the fish there and the practice has continued. Now the fish are like pigeons in a park when they spot you eating a sandwich. The minute someone steps in the water they swarm around. Fish food is available for a dollar fron an honesty box but even if you don't feed them they still come. It's not all little fish either. Amazing experience for my birthday.
