When jellyfish die they close up into themselves and wash ashore. They look like see through worms and feel like a squirt of cool goo through the toes when you accidently step on them.
I (Rebecca) had many pleasant chats along the way with young and old from the region and other parts of Australia, the Ukraine, South Africa and some people, I never learned where they were from.
I talked with the kiters. Another day and I would have accepted their invitation to give it a go, but I was already late getting back to the cottage. It costs about $1800 for a kite.
After lunch, I took the car for a drive down the peninsula. The first stop was Arthur's Seat National Park. I was a bit nervous at first venturing on my own without a navigator, but I was heading in a general direction and if I took a non-direct route or missed it, I would get it on the return trip. Once I was on the park road, it was a fun drive up the hill with lots of 15 and 25 kph turns and lookouts on the otherside, of course, of the road,,,caught those on the way back!
Back to the highway and off to explore the end of the peninsula. Point Nepean marks the southern point of the Rip, which is the entrance to Port Philip and the most westerly point of the Mornington Peninsula. There are a number of forts and gunnery placement walks along the way to and from the actual tip and the "end of the road" parking lot.
The way home was not the way I planned, but was a wonderful drive along the coast road and catching glimpses of beaches, kite boarders, sail boats, beach shops, parks, play areas, beach parking and campgrounds.
When Karen and I went shopping for supper, there was a shower and the temperature plummetted from 36C to 20C in minutes resulting in an amazing evening sky.
After our hamburger stew supper we putzed on our laptops and went to sleep mentally reviewing the day's adventures and looking forward to tomorrow.
