Fun at the Beach (despite the rain….)

The day after the Quiz a group of us headed to Hamilton Beach for the night. Unfortunately it rained on and off for most of the afternoon but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the atmosphere at Samso’s (sitting under the new shelter rather than on the beach!), or stop us from swimming in the idyllic Atlantic. I had a fantastic lobster and chips for dinner, then we played some fun games including a game called “Werewolf” – a tactical gameof bluffing and trust (or not trusting anyone!) where we found out which of our friends were good liars….!I organised a hut to stay in instead of camping in case of rain. Unfortunately there was indeed a massive storm overnight. Unfortunately there was a leak in our hut. Unfortunately it was right above my bed. My mattress got quite wet– I ended up flipping it over so I could dry off a bit! (Quite why I didn’t just try to move the bed I’m not sure).It was still raining in the morning but we had a birthday breakfast for Cat followed by a long swim (hard work swimming against that drift!) Finally the sun came out (and finally I took off my cardigan) and lunch was barracuda and chips (the fish in SL really is world class) followed by chocolate birthday cake made by Becky and Hannah.All in all a great weekend filled with friends, food and fun!
