Catch of the Day: Day Seven

After breakfast we all headed down to the beach in front of the resort and started digging tunnels (Cassius’ favourite beach activity – actually he is more of a supervisor than ‘real’ digger). Cass, Hero and Louis played together in the morning and we all split up in the afternoon.

Matt, Cass and I went to the surf beach on the other side of the bay. It is a beautiful beach with big waves. I inflated the bodyboard and caught some big waves while Matt and Cass dug more holes. In fact, it was complex maze of holes that Cass kept falling in once a fresh one had been dug.

Matt decided to educate Cassius on the origins of Australia explaining that the island was discovered by Captain Cook. He went on to say that he’d buried treasure on the beach we were sat on a few hundred years earlier. Big Mistake! Matt dug nearly all afternoon.

Eventually we headed back to the resort to catch up with the girls before heading out at dusk for some fishing. Cassius was incredibly excited. Matt and his Dad let him cast the rod and amazingly helped Matt to catch a small dart – a spiky yellow fish.
To celebrate we all went out to an Italian on the front for some pizza and pasta. The two youngsters stayed up while Cassius fell asleep on my lap. We walked along the shore for a big sleep before our journey north to see Jude and James.
