I wrote yesterday that the weather was really bad. Well, it turns out it was just fine… compared to today. Pouring rain in the morning causing local flooding of the fields, strong winds, dark clouds. In Sydney, a bit further south, some areas were being evacuated. These floods made the news all the way back to Europe.

Naturally, we had to adapt the program. After lunch, we went to Fighter World, at the local air base/airport. Two hangars filled with old RAAF fighter planes (F18, Mirage III, Spitfires etc) some of which were in use just a couple of years ago. Great for kids of all ages, especially after having watched Top Gun.

We had a quick walk at Boat Harbour, a nice outlook on the shore. The waves were enormous, too powerful for anyone to even envisage getting in the water.

After diner we stayed in the quietness of Tom and Nat’s home. Everyone watched High School Musical, while I was still struggling with jet lag.

Nat picked up the breakfast today, we got to try something that looks like a chocolate pastry, but actually is Vegemite pastry. It’s best to be aware of it before eating it. It’s very Australian, not bad but… surprising. I prefer chocolate.
