weekend getaway

...to Lakes Entrance!

It was a long 4-5 hour drive, only because we took way too many stops. Anyway, me, being the pro map reader and navigator of the unknown lands, we finally got to Lakes Entrance. Before we got there, the drive amongst the hill roads brought us views of the serene blue waters and the lush green grass. It was so nice! The breeze was the best as it was coming straight from the ocean unlike back in Melbourne when sometimes during a really hot summer day, the air becomes suffocating... like yesterday.

Here is a view of a part of the lake, with the main footbridge on the right and paddle boats at the far end on the left. This path leads to the popular Ninety Mile beach.

So when we got to the other side, you had to walk up a little hill of sand before you could see the wide ocean... I was like OMG, this is so much better than Chelsea beach. The sand was so soft, clean as no other sand could be and the feeling of it being in between your toes... just so relaxing.

This is only the beginning, I thought to myself. When night gradually approached, we headed out to the beach (again...) to see the sunset. The sun was hiding behind clouds and for it to be just above the lake was spectacular. This is one of my favourite pics so far.

Isn't that just beautiful? So as we were flying kites on the beach, the time was around 8.30pm...

The sky never ceases to become even more pretty. Better yet, this next picture captures the light beaming out from the clouds. It was much more appealing when actually on the beach but otherwise, my 8.1mp Sony digital camera captured a great deal of it.

We pretty much just roamed the beach during that Saturday. For dinner, we had homemade hotpot... mmm. I will continue with Sunday and Monday in another post as time is short.
