16.04.2006 – Sunday 16 April – Easter & Stradbroke Island

Morning

• We had a large breakfast at Frank and Shirley’s, as per tradition. It would appear that our tent has become an ant nest, with ants climbing all over—and in—it.

Afternoon

• I relaxed, interspersed with a long walk down a few beaches and around the headland, and some pouring rain.

Night

• It would appear that the rain has come under our tent, wetting our sheet and the top corners of our bed. This could have been a disaster, but a lovely warm woman makes quite a good sheet alternative.
