Normally Sunday is the resting day. I however, spend the day running around and 'bushwalking' as they call walking anywhere that is not the city in Australia.
We were meeting up with about twenty others in the city at quarter to ten, but we were running late. That meant we had to run to get tickets and still make it to the bus. Those who had the privilege to witness me in gymclasses know that running isn't exactly my strongest point. Panting we arrived on time, only to figure out that two others were still not there, meaning I might as well have saved myself the effort.
Luckily I had plenty of time to rest, as the busride to the Northern Palm Beach took an hour and a half. Once there we took in the image of a beautiful almost deserted beach. We decided to walk through the sand towards the lighthouse. Since the group was following Lisianne and me, we took a wrong turn and ended up at a dead end (a beautiful rock formation though) and had to walk a bit longer.
That I truly have no stamina to speak of became painfully clear when we had to walk all the stone steps to the top where the lighthouse was. The view was amazing though, and definitely worth it. We weren't able to spot any whales, but we still had a great time enjoying the sun and the blue waters surrounding us.
When we got back we cooked our housemates typically Dutch food: mashed potatoes, carrots, meatballs and homemade apple sauce. It took quite a while due to the amount of food and the lack of good pans, but they all enjoyed it very much.Seems like Dutch food is tasty after all.
