Camping at Mils beach

It's been an age - but all work and no play...  Yesterday was a public holiday in Hong Kong, and after lunch we packed up (an unbelievable amount of stuff) and went camping on mils beach for the night with Tracy and Simon and the Overtons and the Manns - it was very cool - and I think the boys had a great time.  Last time we went we got absolutely grazed by mozzies - so this time awnings and mozzie nets instead of tents - which worked really well.  The boys were up at 6am and into castle mode on a tide swept beach - we managed to set up in a tiny corner that remained dry following an unusually high tide - a relief that.  Hope you are having a good time - looking forward to seeing you in October - hoping that you're still on for Hong Kong in Dec - if so I wanted to chat dates with you and will wizz you a text tomorrow.

Ev gets down to business in the late afternoon sun









Getting things organised at dusk - the boys get ring side seats for Simon's fire - very exciting stuff for them.





6-odd am - beautiful morning - in their pj's the boys are back at it, Ange chats to Courtney, Allie and Jordan


Close shave with the tide - the only part of the beach that was not underwater in the night was where we'd set up.  High tide was at midnight - not a nice thing to be dealing with at that point.




Allie and Jordan contemplate the little stream and lagoon at the back of the beach - I liked it for its lovely green colour.
