Today is a rest day. Well it was meant to be a rest day. As the boys enjoyed feeding the kangaroo's so much a couple of days ago, we used our free-return ticket to go back today. We had a bit of kangaroo food left, so all 3 boys got stuck in to feeding it out.
This time there were Pelican's there which were the size of Rohan and there were 2 emu out.
By the time the food had run out, I had had enough of seeing and smelling animals, so we left!
We went back to the hotel briefly before heading down Macrossan street to find an ATM/bank. Once this was complete, we stopped in for morning tea at the first bakery we saw. Steve and Rohan had lamingtons, Julian had a vanilla slice and I had a apricot pie. All were very good except the lamington which was magnificent! Julian and Rohan both had strawberry milkshakes which were super sweet. Julian drank all of his before declaring that he couldn't eat more than 2 bites of his vanilla slice. Apparently he now couldn't have sugar for the next 2 days as his sugar clock needed to reset! The coffee was good too.
We walked back to the hotel via Coles for bread, milk, vegemite :) For some reason we were all a bit tired and grumpy, so we hung around the hotel for a couple of hours trying to rest/relax.
At 1:30pm I escaped down the street to check out the shops but came home empty handed. We headed out straight away to get ice creams as it was about 25C outside. Julian and Rohan had the krazy Kolor (Rainbow) again, I had Boysenberry and Steve had cappuccino. They were just what we needed and we all felt better afterwards.
We popped into the pharmacy and bought Rohan another pair of sunglasses as his current ones really are too small. Julian happily watched the fish in the pond around the corner. Even though the ice cream had cooled us down, we thought a dip in the pool was required. This was when we discovered that behind the waterfall in cold pool there were 2 HEATED spas! I wish we had known 5 days ago, as I would have been in earlier! Oh well. It was good to find out and we all had a bit of a swim. Julian even listened to Steve and did well with his swimming lesson.
After the swim we rested up a little at the hotel before heading back to the Court House for dinner. Julian had pointed out earlier that the Ironbar smelled yucky and he didn't want to go back. We agreed with him about the smell, so we decided to skip it forever. It took forever for our meals to arrive but they were good. Steve had a mixed seafood basket (fresh and fried), I had Baked Salmon and additional vege and the boys had chicken nuggets. Everything was tasty.
We bundled the boys into a bath and then to bed. We are all very tired. I walked nearly 10,500 steps - so not really a rest day!
