Summer Bay

I've been very lucky this week as I was able to take off two days to spend with Steven while he is here visiting. I took off Wednesday so we could go kayaking at Manly and I took off Friday so we could take a drive to enjoy the best of Sydney's north. Jo took the train to work so we could have the car and we headed to Palm Beach at about 10:30am.

It was super hot and it was a good thing we were at the beach because you certainly needed to take a dip to cool down! I went in for a quick swim and Steven paddled around up to his knees. The water was lovely but there was so much kelp it made swimming a bit crap.

The "Summer Bay Surf Club" at Palm Beach

After our swim we had to head up to the surf club, as used in Aussie Soap 'Home and Away' - as you can see from the Summer Bay sign. It is an actual livesaving club as we had a nice ice lolly there to prove it.

After some lunch we headed down to coast and stopped off at Whale Beach and Avalon to take a look around. We even managed to pick Jo up from work on the way home (as we got stuck in Friday afternoon traffic). Wish all Friday's could be like this!
