Another shitty day in paradise

Being forced to stay inside because of the bad weather, we have a DVD running of the Celtic Thunder; Irish singers. Then suddenly they sang hallelujah and a feeling of completely happiness came over me (no I'm not religious) and I realized that actually we are quite happy with our life at the moment... Maybe its that mysterious Mission Beach ghost……

I have no intention to make you jealous but just look at this and then you will understand what keeps us here for a while;

Of course we also had bad weather but when it's nice we're doing things like this;

in the mornings I walk along the beach to these tree-roots and back, total approx. 3,5 km.....

in the mean time Fred is fishing with our neighbour Jack.....

First fish, YEHH!!

It was nice but a lot of bones in it......

in the afternoon we just watch the world goes by....

and read a bit.......

In following film you will see some skydivers but this is just a start people! We have some very brave fellow campers who did the jump, you will see that next time!

after high tide see what the beach is up to.....

poor butterfly is stuck in the sand.....

Or we do some little jobs

we have to make some advertisement don't we!...

or we play bowls (no NOT playing with balls) with some fellow campers;

We had to buy a new dishwasher for our house in Holland, here I have to do the dishes by hand every day, even cooking water to get warm dishwater, but I don't care!!

And look at the washing, it was hanging outside already for 2 days and was nearly dry when it started raining again, yeh guys, that's the tropics!

We may live in a caravan but as you can see on my weblog, we never have a dull moment so I just want to give you this saying I've read somewhere;

Happiness isn't what you have,

it's what you make of it!

See you soon!

Mission beach

G'day Mates,

It looks like we are heading to the outback at the moment so we won't have reception for a few days that's why I come back so quick, I don't want to lose my fans do I? Here's a short one;

We go back to 13th of May;

This is the part where you can find Cassowaries if you’re lucky. On our visits in the past Fred and I have been lucky several times at a certain walk. Of course we want to share this with Danny and so we wander off into the bush. Unfortunately we didn’t see Cassowaries;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary

but we saw big and I mean BIG spiders, please join us on this little walk;

The first one was nice and decent, he/she makes a very strange web;

We are being very quiet, especially near the stream because here we saw them in the pasted, I mean the Cassowaries of course, not the spiders they are always there brrr.

The creepy crawlers suddenly hang in front of your face so now and then you could hear a scream from one of us. Being brave we managed to take some pictures. 

just look how strange a tree/branche can grow...

still being very quiet.....

ooh, I forgot to tell, we were covered by hunderds of mozzies, so if you ever walk this; apply repellent!

of course there are also nice creatures in the Forrest's....

this one must have been fighting, he misses 2 legs, well he's got 6 left the lucky basterd!

After lunch (a Magnum) we had a laid back afternoon, sitting on the beach with a cold beer, watching the skydivers.

See ya next time.

Cheers!
