Our room at Sea Whispers. The windows overlook the bay.
From the time we finally arrived, late, since we stopped briefly in Berry for a coffee, it has been an oasis of peace and quiet – apart from the Rosella which makes a racket in the early morning. Other than that we have been blessed with glorious weather, plenty of rest and unbelievable scenery.

Ray rediscovered the Rock Pool where he and his cousin Doug had played with salmon many years before.
Memories from the past at the Rock Pool, Kiama. It used to have huge salmon swimming in it and the children used to try to tickle the salmon, long gone now, but the Rock Pool remains.

We spent time dodging the spray from the Little Blowhole. It’s nice and refreshing but not so easy to photograph dodging salt spray! It does look great though.

Terrific waves and tide for the Little Blowhole.

We were welcomed into Kiama by a pod of whales breaching. My little camera is great but still a little small for catching a good picture of the whales. Another try tomorrow because I placed my request for a visit from them again – when I have the tripod set up! It reminded me of BEing in the moment and gratitude for seeing these beautiful creatures at all. I am BEing blessed.

Time for a drive around Kiama and a lovely meal at the Kiama Leagues Club before dropping into that gorgeous bed for some well-earned rest. Life is simply wonderful. Holidays are like that, aren’t they? They remind us to make our everyday life as mindful as possible so we don’t miss out on the little things we can be grateful for.

Ray, relaxed and ready to rest tonight and explore tomorrow..
