Airlie Bimble to the
Market
 Beez in
the sunshine. Unbelievably hot after the torrential rain we had most of
the night. Beez new friend is called Len Hooper – a big police
launch.
  In the empty slot next to
Beez was a herd of fish, and the in the next
one along was this chap who was
about eighteen inches long.
  We stopped at a loud horn and turned
to see a crowded ferry discharge loads of passengers,
then pull out. We walked to the office to book the courtesy car for Monday to do
a Coles run for heavy shopping. At the end of the north end
of the marina, we turned right to join the Bicentennial
Boardwalk.
 The reason for the crowded ferry and
many more during the day was due to there being a cruise
ship in. Anchored a very long way off – strict rules about where they are
allowed to park.
 Zoomed in
she is clearer to see.
 We followed the boardwalk which became
a path. So many cruisers have told us about the
Saturday Market, on the other side of the bay.
  We bimbled by a sandy little beach
not a soul in sight, we couldn’t understand on such a beautiful day........Until
we saw the information board........ Mmmm. We had
passed a shop in the marina with hideous mannequins wearing leopard print jelly
suits, now we read they are only 75% effective, that means 25% risk and your
face, hands and feet are out on their own.
  We came to a
park with a shallow lido, this must be why the
beach was empty.
 A Thora
strutted her stuff.
  A dugong
and plaque dedicated in 2001.
 From the far end
of the lido we could see it was really big.
 Down the High Street a little way and
then back to the beach path to see the War
Memorial.
 Not exactly
donkeys on Weston-super-Mare beach.........
 The huge market had a great turtle sandcastle.
  We bimbled through the variety of stalls, past Australia’s youngest juggler – a
talented little girl and we loved the kangaroo rocker.
We bought two ginormous pineapples for five dollars.
A cucumber so fat it could used as a missile for a dollar and some limes for
Bear’s rum and then bimbled toward Woolworths for bread and stuff for the
weekend. That done we headed back.
 This time from the boardwalk we could
see the cruise ship had swung round and a bus that
floats.
 Whatever next......... A number plate that we can’t argue with.
 ALL IN ALL A HAPPY
TOWN
BEAUTIFULLY LAID OUT
