Jill and I go hat shopping as it looks like being a sunny Wedding day. Unfortunately I left my wallet in the apartment so Jill has to pay!

Duncan goes on a trip to the supermarket, then we go to the beach - there are quite strong rips, but I manage to catch 3 waves. Back to the apartment - the pool and spa are quite crowed so we only stay a short while.

Of course we have a nap after lunch, and then it is across the road to the Surf Life Saving Club (big building in the background of the above picture.) where there are pre-wedding drinks and dinner. We are only allowed the tables there until 6.30pm, so the drinking starts at 4.00pm!

One of the drinks of choice is the alcoholic ginger beer. I had a sip and it seemed like a nice drink. The exchange rate did a sudden dive on the day we came over and so we were later shocked to see what we paid from house wine when it came through on our bank a/c. Just gaily Paywaved away!

Simon and the kids arrive about 6. Theo and Claudia are staying with Jill and Rua and Simon and Jackie have booked into a hotel just up the street. So as you can imagine, it was up early and down to the pool.
When you go to these sports clubs it is a whole different culture. When you ask for a glass of wine, they say "Small or Large" naturally I chose large but it is 250mls - about double what a standard glass is! Note the free bingo tickets on the table too.
