| Welcome to Cave Beach |
To celebrate Amy's and My birthdays, we ventured down to Jervis Bay where we explored Cave Beach Campground and the surrounding beautiful, deserted beaches.
Amy and I set out early Friday with the rest of our party arriving Friday evening with a fire going and a Tyrannosaurs birthday cake waiting to be devoured. The cake had to be defended from the kangaroos and possums roaming the campground but once it was made extinct we laid back and enjoyed the fire. Smores soon followed.

Saturday we woke up to sunshine and juevos rancheros a la Amy. We took the short walk to Cave beach to enjoy the sunshine and waves. The sun played hide and seek with us till early afternoon when it turned on full sunburn-inducing overdrive.

The waves were halfway decent and our mate John spent the whole day in the water on his surfboard, taking breaks here and there to have a beer or sandwich with us on the beach. At times, he was literally the only person surfing on the beach. A far cry from the relatively busy breaks of Manly. Amy also tried out her new bodyboard and she was smiles from ear to ear.

| Ahhhh....summer |

That evening we settled in for a barbecue by way of Jeroen and Ramonda as well as having Simone join us with food reinforcements. Kangaroos were everywhere in the afternoon and some came right up to check us out.

On Sunday, Chris and Delia took a walk with their 3 month old (baby's 1st camping trip) and discovered a brand new beach, totally deserted. After some chocolate-chip banana pancakes, we ventured out to it to find it sparsely populated with people but densely packed with beautiful waves. We proceeded to play in the water till exhaustion and sunburn set in and then packed up for the trip home.

We are greatly looking forward to going back in a couple weeks as part of the whirlwind tour when Oakley and Amy come out to visit!
Hell yeah! This looks awesome! Can't wait to get there.
