Monday, May 29
Another beautiful day in paradise. 26 C and not a cloud to be seen. We are starting to meet up with couples we
had met last week at the Woolgoolga campground.
They seem to get a kick out of the Canadian couple with their three kids
camping out of the back of a small SUV. After
a short walk up town to replace Luke’s blown out flip flop, we were off to the
beach. The waves are certainly different
here, as they either break really far out, or right close to shore. The boys enjoyed boogie boarding for a while,
but then packed it in. Cindy and I went
for a long walk on the beach. On our
walk we saw a rather large 30 year old male with speedo that he had hoisted up
his butt, and therefore was fully tanning both butt cheeks. I was so wishing I had the camera with
me. It reminded us of the Seinfeld
episode of looking at cleavage… it is like looking at the sun, you shouldn’t,
but you still do. More of an argument
for me buying speedo, but Cindy is not going for it.  |

After our beach walk, we grabbed the boys and headed to
Woolies. Woolies (Woolworths) are one of
the major food stores in Australia (and South Africa). While we have been in Australia, they have
been giving out Marvel Super Hero disks.
There are 42 in total and Nate purchased a book holder for them. After being sure to buy all groceries at
Woolies so that we can get these disks, we are down to only needing one more,
and the disk program is ending Tuesday.
The national news had a short clip about these disks and the craze going
on for them. Parents are yelling at
cashiers for running out of the disks, and there are some that are rare and are
being sold on ebay for up to $90. Well,
Nate got his final one today and his set is complete. Unbelievable, as I thought there was little
chance of getting the last one. There
are even Facebook exchange groups for these disks. Now Luke wants to try for a full set, as the
boys have plans on saving them for 50 years and then cashing in for their
millions.
