Unexpected Holiday Extension

I woke up just after 6am thinking about how great it would be that we might get to Horizontal Falls after all. Then dread set in with the thought that maybe the spots would be gone by the time the office opened at 9am. So I got online immediately and opened up the page only to be shattered when it showed there were no tickets left! I was kicking myself. I did call the office just in case, but they revealed that the morning foggy conditions had cancelled the last three days (including this morning). They took our details and and said they wold call if anything changed.



We moved out of our spacious bungalow by 9am, but the apartment would not be ready until 2pm. So we made our way to the Cable Beach Store and Cafe for breakfast followed by the Mini Golf World Championships.




The 18 hole course, definitely had its challenges. We all had a one hole that was a shocker. Final standings Andy pipped me by 1, followed by Katy and then Ella. By the time we finished the temperature was rising and we needed to cool off. Following an ice cream, we made our way to Cable Beach for a swim.

The timing was perfect, as the resort called to say our apartment was ready as we were walking back to the car post swim. This new resort was only 500m down the road. We checked in quickly and once our gear was inside, the girls went straight to test out the pool.

In the afternoon, we made our way back into town for coffee and to replenish our food supply before returning to the apartment. Later that evening we settled down on the sofa bed to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
