Goode Beach

It's been a while since I blogged because we were in Albany at a beach house that did not have wifi. Before we left we went on a Christmas light cruise that was absolutely lovely. It went down canals that have houses on them that decorate every year; it was fun and festive and felt very Christmasy (they even had carollers!)

 

On Wednesday we left to Albany and arrived at our beach house that was right by Goode Beach. It was such an unbelievably beautiful area! I scoped it out and the next day got up early for a morning walk and to watch the sunrise. 

The house was equipped with kayaks so later on Thursday we took them out and headed to the beach. The water was so unbelievably clear that even in neck deep water you can still see the bottom- even the shadows of the kayaks were visibly on the ocean floor. It wasn't too hot but we still got sunburnt because of how differently the sun burns here. We loved kayaking and swimming and had an absolutely lovely time. For dinner we headed to town and found an awesome italian place. 

My sunburn was so painful that I was afraid to go out into the sun so the next day we just chilled inside. On Saturday (my birthday) there was a crazy storm with hail and lightning- Kevin and I still wanted to kayak but got covered by the waves when we tried so we admitted defeat and went back home for another lazy day. 

Yesterday (Sunday) was out last day there so we packed our stuff and headed to town for breakfast. On our way home we stopped at the Tree Top Walk in the Valley of the Giants. It was so cool to walk among the tree tops being suspended 130 feet in the air on a wobbly bridge, it was good fun and a very cool experience. 

 

We don't really have any plans for this week yet because it's Christmas week and a lot of stuff if closed; although we might head to Fremantle on Saturday. 

Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and remembrance of what Christ's birth made possible for us.
