have a picnic on the beach at sunrise

The day after the wedding were alll so tired after the previous nights festivities and ready for bed but it was too early! So I suggested a walk to the beach about 20 mins away from our campsite.

It worked out better than I had envisigaed. We walked and chatted we on the grass on the cliffs overlooking a beach. The sunset was spectacular. Great conversations with great friends, local wine – a really special evening!

Can’t wait to eventually have a dawn picnic – it will be legendary :-)

THE PICTURE ISN’T MY PICTURE BUT IS FROM THE SAME VIEW POINT!

BUT, I could accomplish my sunrise beach picnic goal for my bday if I could find SOME kind of warm place with a beach that I could afford to get to.

Need to research….

Last weekend I had a fantastic picnic on a beach at the Northern end of Fraser Island. It was wonderful. I was taken in a friends (small) boat…without the slightest indication of sea sickness. It was a glorious day and we hopped out on the bank of a creek overlooking the bay. The sand was pure white, and the ocean so many shades of blue that I can’t describe it. A dingo came to visit (which put me a little on edge given that my fear of dogs is comparable to my fear of dentists) and watched the entire 4 hours or so we were there. It wasn’t sunrise at all but it was a great picnic, I can’t believe that I lived up there for 3 years and never had such an experience and it is only since I left 18 months ago that I have had the opportunity. There were only two things wrong, that I didn’t take my camera and I left my book behind, it would’ve been great to read while they were fishing.

... and it sounds like such a nice experience! Perhaps when the weather warms up a little.

I have wanted to do this for such a long time…....I am too gutless to do things on my own so I have decided that this will be one that I do…..my “picnic” might end up being a coffee and croissant and hopefully by Easter I will be able to tick it off.
