Hornby Adventures - Whaling Station Bay

OK... this is a photo that will likely come back to haunt Rose in a few years... she looks a bit "rough" in the mornings apparently!!!

Today we are at Whaling Station Bay... was there a whaling station here at one point? Apparently... back in the previous century... or maybe even earlier.

The tide is wwwwaaaaayyyyy out there!

When we finally made it to the water, we found some sea anemones...

And some crabs (big ones) hunkered down in the sand (alive - we checked) waiting for the tide to come back in.

Rose kept trying to convince everyone that the water was "warm" but... no one was buying it... not even Rose eventually!

This little left-over pool however was super warm!!

After quite a bit of building... Rose managed to construct a teepee... not bad, eh?

The tide had come in a bit but... still not "warm"!

Otto and I decided that if we're going to be hanging around a hot beach with no cooling off options in water then... we might as well head for ice cream!

Mmmm... ice cream... Do you think the sekrebearies are trying to increase their evaluation scores?

Back at camp... and there is a beach down below as well!

Otto decided to chill in camp for a bit... so I went down a seriously steep set of stairs to check out the beach.

Mmm... not so beachy... more rocky. But cool rocks.

They look kind of like dinosaur skin or something.

I think... that could be some mega fossilized piece of dinosaur hide!

Or maybe a dragon?

It's cool down here... but not really a beach... although there is sand around the corner.

Ummm... right... forgot... little bears that go down stairs also need to go back UP stairs!

But I made it! And then Otto, Pomegranate and I decided to roast some marshmallows over the propane fire.

They don't roast as well for some reason... much better over a wood fire but... at least the sekrebearies remembered to bring them.

Mmmmm... marshmallows...

And... I know... you probably want pictures of smores but... they were eaten far too quickly to get any pictures! Sorry!

Whew... what a day...

And what a view out of the back of the camper van... nice...
