Karumba 3

Had a lazy old sort of day, coffee at the bakery, lunch from the bakery, nap….

We had a swim in the pool and decided to go and find the markets that had been advertised around the place. On our way out, we stopped at reception and booked ourselves in for an extra night, it’s just that kind of place.

Found the markets at one of the van parks at the Point. No signs or anything out on the road mind you, just one or two extra 4x4s. It was only tiny, 4 stalls in all, but wait – I bought something! One stall had fishing stuff by the trestleload and a pair of reefwalker shoes caught my eye. They are soft / mesh / rubber soled slip-on shoes for walking on reefs or beaches and in the water or wherever. My current pair I bought last year in Gladstone or somewhere for $25 and have nearly had it. Now here they were, the almost identical pair on this stall for $12. Should have bought both pairs!

Judy found a bracelet marked down to $2 and we bought a ‘bag’ of prawns fro $9, probably half a kilo.

We took the prawns and some soft drinks around to the beach, such as it is, and ate them while watching the sunset. Once it was gone we headed back to the Sunset Tavern (it’s called that for a reason) ordered a pizza and were treated to one of the best after sunset afterglow shows we’ve ever seen. The sky stayed bright yet the clouds kept getting a darker and darker shade of red, just short of black.
