Day 8 Sunday 18th November
Went to Berther's Beach today. Really couldn't be bothered to, I was still a little under the weather, sun burnt from yesterday and had no one to go with. But I had the van for the day, and the sun was shining so I wanted to make the most of it.
I got lost on the short 6 mile drive there so had to go back to MPC to get more thorough directions. Annoying. The last couple of miles are off road and there is a gate for which you need to get a key from MPC. As I was in the van I was not allowed to drive off road, so parked up and walked. Some nice person driving past offered me a lift the rest of the way, which was nice.
The beach was beautiful, a good few miles of lovely sandy which beach and crystal blue water. I will put some photos up later.... Apparently if you walked a mile or so in either direction you will find penguins. I walked left a bit, gave up, walked right a bit, gave up. If I had committed to either direction I would surely have found some but I just couldn't be bothered really! So I sat on the lovely beach, all alone, had my sandwhich and went back home.
Doing things like that is all very nice, but it is a bit dull by yourself. At least I know the way for when James gets here. (No, I didn't see any waves James).
Day 9 Monday 19th November
My final day shift doubled up. Can't believe I've been here a week now. It's flown! The roster has been updated to give me and James a few days off together, so that's good.
