A breath of fresh air

There's nothing like a few days away and we are currently enjoying some time away from Latimers ... at the beach. We are celebrating S's birthday - a little late, but that's okay. There is something about being at the beach though - and staying in a 16th floor apartment across the road from the beach with sweeping views up the coast to Surfers Paradise, and down the beach to the Currumbin headland (where you can see the planes turning on their way to Coolangatta Airport).

S's family is staying in the same unit block and we had a celebratory dinner with them (and M) last night. It was wonderful! We didn't get back upstairs and to bed until close to midnight and we had to have the children back downstairs by 7.30 this morning so they could have their showers and do what children do when they are on holidays.

We are hoping to get into the spa and the sauna this evening ... before checking out and making our way back to Latimers in the morning.

In the meantime, of course, there are plenty of beach activities - sitting watching the beach, standing watching the beach, leaning watching the beach ... the list goes on. You really feel it when you're a water sign because the ocean seems to have a pull on you. I could sit and watch the ebb and flow of the sea forever. And there's the Burleigh Markets too ...
