Thurs 24 Oct 2013 - More Surfing at Yallingup WA

During the night, the wind came up, so it wasn't a good morning for surfing. We drove around the area, looking at the beaches and seeing if there was some surf at a more sheltered spot. 

One of them was called Smith's Beach and had some very trendy holiday villas with a restaurant, deli and bottle shop.

 We also passed a winery with a restaurant and Lodge accommodation called Sienna's (my granddaughter's name)!

 This tour took so long, that by the time we got back to Yallingup, the wind had dropped and Rodger was able to go in, as there was a good swell and 2 other surfers out there. While they were surfing, Rodger was just about to catch a wave, when 3 dolphins jumped out of it, doing aerials before re-entering the water and swimming away!

sorting out conflict on the wave!

When he came out for lunch, we talked to Andrew & Bass and the boys and watched Joshua ( 6 months) trying some solid food. We had a chat with Rodger's Mum and, a bit later, Tim and Jem. While we were doing this, I looked up and noticed the weather vane was very appropriate to the area!

Rodger went back in for another surf and by then the sun was setting, so we came to the other campsite in Yallingup, as they have unpowered sites and are cheaper. Rodger was very tired after all his activity, so he cooked our BBQ, had a shower and we decided to have an early night. However, we were just having a cup of tea, when I got stung by a bee, which had sneaked into the van without us noticing.
