Merimbula beach on the Sapphire Coast - it certainly sparkles. It was wonderful to welcome a fine sunny day after 2 weeks or more of on again off again wind and rain.

Some were game to surf the water but not my man. He reckons this is the only way to enjoy the winter sun! There were 4 of these deck lounge chairs at this spot which overlooks the Back Lake that feeds into the sea.

Sapphire Coast Top Tourist Park - every Monday to Thursday they cook up free Pancakes at 10am. Needless to say we had a late breakfast every day we were there. This was Alistair's plate - you could actually see the jam on my pancakes! Great park with heated pool and spa area, giant chess & draught games and very sheltered from the wind.
