Wanneroo

Every day is sunshine here in Waterman's Bay, and yesterday was no exception. In the morning, Bob dropped Tom and I off at the Whitford Shopping Mall, which is huge, and we had 3 hours browsing there, which was nice. I bought a couple of summer items, which I'd wanted from Millers. By then the temperature had risen to 28° which was delicious, and so early afternoon, Lori, Tom and I set off to the beach for a swim - my first! Tom just watched. It was beautiful, the water was blue and clear, and we swam in what's termed 'the senior's pool' which is at the extreme left of the Bay and the waves are almost non existent, so you can relax without getting tossed around. It's about shoulder depth, so perfect. I guess we were in the water for about an hour. Every 10 minutes or so, the coastguard helicopter would fly over, shark spotting, which was very reassuring for this oldie!! However, we're within a reef, so it's highly unlikely a shark could swim across the jagged rocky perimeter, and I didn't give it a thought except when the chopper went overhead.
We had a few games of cards when we got back, and then dinner out at The Beach House restaurant at Hillary's, 10 minutes up the road, with Erica. The meal was perfect.... scallops and prawns. Very yummy. We've had a wonderful time here with Bob, Ken and Lori and Erica, but only 3 days left and we'll be home. We have today planned for a Freemantle Market Day morning out with Josh, so better get started.Leer más
