22 February 2014 Port Broughton, Yorke Peninsula

We must be getting closer to home, we were both awake by 7am!!  But we managed a slow start to the day. The weather for the day started with wind and patchy clouds, but it soon cleared up and we had a warm blue sun-shiny day.We took Aiko for a walk into town late in the morning. It was a nice walk along the foreshore and up the main street. There is a grand old style two storey pub on the corner of the main street and the esplanade and a variety of small shops from a 2^nd hand clothing store , a few take-aways, 2 real estate agents, a café/bar and a bakery to name a few. (Almost all I should say!!) It’s a typical country town, big wide main streets with angle parking, and memorials to this, that, them and the other, all over the town.

We grabbed a pie and some cake each for lunch, (and an extra cake for desert tonight) and walked back down to the foreshore to have lunch overlooking the jetty and the water, albeit a little early. J

Aiko enjoyed keeping the seagulls away while we ate, and got some loving from an older woman who came over to chat and have a pat. After lunch we walked back to the CP along the park and then the “beach”/foreshore.

Once back Deb pointed out that the papers were saying that right now was the best time to go fishing today, so I got my gear together and headed down to the jetty. 2 ½ hrs later I was back, fishless (like everyone else out on the jetty), just goes to show you shouldn’t believe everything you read in the papers!!! I decided that was enough fishing for this holiday and cleaned and packed my fishing gear away.

We had a quiet afternoon, Deb booked us in for a charity High Tea at the Grand in Glenelg for the day after the Rolling Stones concert, and messaged our friend Bruce on the Central Coast to see if wanted to go as well, and he did, it will be good to catch up with him and his fiend Maureen, along with Tom and Vonnie, and Carly and Ella at the tea.
