5 June 2009
Fireworks were planned for late that evening along the beaches. We set off around 9.00pm with the McKinneys so that we would get a good vantage point before the crowd built up. Jim and Ray were in the front of "George" and Jenny and I were locked up in the back. We found a good spot at the top of a hill and settled down with our chairs, lots of blankets and a cuppa as it was very cold outside and the wind had a real nip in it.
People chatted to us as they arrived and so many seemed to know about the Aussies/NZ who drove from Turkey in their military vehicles. We were invited to tea by a German couple who were camping in their mobile home and to some apple cider/liqueur by a French guy. Both of these we gracefully declined as we had already eaten and were a bit scared of how potent the apple liqueur might be as the Frenchman described it with much gusto.
The fireworks were set off at various spots along the coast simultaneously and were a magnificent sight. Well worth getting frozen for.
