Sky Blue at the beach.

So...this weekend we were in Brisbane celebrating Andrew's birthday on Saturday and on Sunday we visited Faye and Anne for lunch. Will used to work with Anne at the Kindergarten at Chelmer. It was lovely to catch up with them and Pauline who also worked with Will at the Kindy. Afterwards we headed down the coast to Fingal Head to look for somewhere to camp.Fingal Head was lovely and we discovered it had a causeway like the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland but there were signs everywhere warning people that no camping was allowed or there would be heavy fines. After our walk on the headland we drove on to Kingscliff and found a car park by the river that had no warning signs about camping so decided we would stay there. We drove back to Chinderah to a fish and chip shop that had been recommended but found it was closed. We couldn't believe it because a sign on the door said it was open until 7 pm and it was only 6.30 pm....that was until we realised we had forgotten that it was actually 7.30 pm now as we had crossed the border in New South Wales and we were still on Queensland time.We found a Nepalese and Tibetan restaurant in Kingscliff and ate there and it was great food. We had a night time walk along Kingscliff beach before climbing into Sky Blue and settling down for the night. It was our first time apart from the night we slept in her at Tarcy and Jen's at Christmas. We chose a bad place to park with lights glaring in and should have moved to a darker spot. Cars kept coming and going which we suspected of doing drug deals and a few groups of noisy youths wandered past but it was pretty quiet after midnight. I did get to sleep eventually and woke up with the rain coming in on me as I was sleeping with the window open to get some cool air.The car park started filling up before dawn as loads of fiishermen came with boats on trailers and set off out to see at first light.We got up about 8 and went down to the beach for a swim. Will left his glasses by the shower at the carpark and we drove of without them. (He has tried to chase them up and even posted on the Kingscliff Community Facebook page. Do you know some  kind person on there went down and had a look for them? They were not there.)We headed down the coast to Cabarita Beach, Hastings Point and Pottsville before heading inland. We had brunch in Mullumbimby and then headed home up the Summerland Way.
