• Port Jackson

    February 9 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Later, we arrived with plenty of time to spare in Port Jackson. Another beach-side campsite and this times unlike last night: no children who wake you up at 7am and no parents who are incapable of telling them to be quiet. In all fairness, after I kindly complained (they were unbelievably loud and there were quite a few people at the campsite to consider - not asleep anymore, I reckon), the parents almost managed to keep their kids quiet for the better part of 3 minutes.
    As we hadn’t enjoyed a swim at the other beach, we did this time. To our surprise, we saw either a dolphin or a whale in the distance, jumping out of the water twice. What a sight!
    We were having our first camping dinner in daylight and caught an amazing sunset over the beach and the green hills surrounding it - a sight that reminded us very much of Scotland.
    I had quickly set down my dinner tray to take a picture of the sunset and then continued eating what I thought to be pepper, but a lot of the “pepper“ was actually more than a dozen of tiny bugs. So. More protein again?

    We had very loyal ducks around us at all times. Needless to say I didn't leave the place willingly. I also spent some time collecting seashells and a cool fish skeleton. Don't ask how heavy my backpack is. Though, I didn't take the skeleton. I might have put it in Maddie's backpack. But shush, don't tell her. I'll wait for her to find out if this is true. ^^
