Sat 6-Mar-10 (Vacation day #1)

Yesterday afternoon we left Canberra in torrential rain. It followed us all the way down. We had dinner with Maria's parents. Arrived at Mandeni around 9:00pm. Unpacked and into bed late.


Today was a busy day. Hot and humid. Played tennis. Picked up mountain bikes. Golf chipping into water - Ben hit barrel and won lollypop. Lots of birds and wildlife around. Time in pool. Long weekend so a lot of families around. Late lunch in Merimbula on waterfront. Saw Jim and Jenny Coats (dear friends, we worshipped with them before Israel and Jenny was Ben's teacher last year). Went for a long bike ride in the afternoon. A lot of interpersonal conflict involving the three of us. All exhausted by the end of the evening.
