Another great weekend

We had another fun weekend! Yesterday, we decided to try a new beach. We chose to go to Dee Why beach, which is probably the closest beach to our apartment by bus. It took about 45 minutes to get there, and the bus ride was worth it.

The beach was pretty long, at least a kilometer. The beach was not very busy at all even though it was a Saturday. The temperature was around 27 C and it was just a perfect day to be out. For lunch, we took a 10 minute stroll to a nearby town centre, populated with shops and restaurants. We even found a Croatian food store. I know, I seem to be finding them everywhere I go. I even found Vitaminka ajvar! It's the best, but since they were selling it for $9 a jar (while it is only $4-5 in Croatia) I had to pass on this opportunity.

After grabbing a quick lunch, we went back to the beach and spent three more hours enjoying the sound of waves and the warmth of the sun. It looks like we did not do a good job of applying sunscreen lotion. A few patches on both of our bodies were really sunburned. Well, I think we will have to enforce a better sunscreen lotion application procedure next time. :-)
