Lah-di-last day

Rain!  And Manly is hosting a surf festival!  Go to gather bread and get shouted at by the thunder.  No one is sure what to do until S hits the nail, hire a car and drive up the coast North.  Stride purposely out into the rain and come back with the car.  We pass through a mix of place names ranging from typical Aussie to abnormally cryptic,  Dee Why, Curl Curl, Narrabeen and last Palm Beach right out on a Peninsula.  High deep forest tuned to the white noise of cicadas, freckled with multi-million dollar houses and a beautiful beach topped and tailed with rock pools.  The girls were enchanted, R and I spending time bouncing over the waves while the life guards drilled themselves.

Drove home stopping for a bite of Japanese in Dee Why, and bed with hardly a peep.  Right now Sydney is definitely somewhere we could return to for more exploration.
