Day 5 continued... Father's Day on Bloody Bay
Many of the ladies kept complaining about the dirty water and how it wasn't warm enough...the kids had no issues at all with it. I suggested we walk the path to Long Bay to see if the water was better. I was not sure if we were going to have to pay or not...We walked down a narrow path that opened onto Long Bay. Many other people were there and we didn't have to pay. The beach was wider, water cleaner & clear and warmer...no more complaints from the ladies.
Enjoying Long Bay

I'm a beginner swimmer and I usually don't go far out into the water. The kids told me not to be scared. They held my hands and we all floated together in the water for an hour or so, just talking. They asked me what was it like staying in a hotel and what the US was like...just so many questions. I thought it was cute.Pretty soon we had a whole group of people, floating and chatting. I wish I had a picture!
Kiddos having fun!

Our fun was interrupted by fire trucks, an ambulance and police cars racing past on the street...heading towards Hanover. We were not sure what happened but it was a sight to see...Everyone stopped what they were doing, watched and after the noise died down, went back to whatever it was they were doing. The kids decided to roll in the sand, run in the sea,rinse off and repeat.
More to come!
