The Mornington Peninsula

This weekend the weather has been brilliant - sunny but not too hot. Good weather for Paul's youngest nephew's birthday party. I watched the children (mostly about 5 years old but a couple of kids in their 30s) playing on the bouncy castle and had some green birthday cake.

Paul and I went to the Mornington Peninsula, which is not too far away from us. If you look at the map, the centre of Melbourne is on the coast of a bay that is sheltered by two big pointy bits of land that almost meet, and the Eastern one is the Mornington Peninsula.

We visited Mornington craft market, which was massive and very busy. Half the stalls were selling yummy stuff (bought some strawberry port) and the rest were selling crafty cool things. I did buy my first christmas present there because I guess I have to be prepared well in advance this year.

After that we headed further down the peninsula and got to the start of a bike track for a cycle down the bay path. Here is a photo of me and my brilliant new bike, which I bought the other week.



And here is a pier a bit down the way, where people were fishing.





Early start tomorrow for another week at work. Weather permitting, we'll be off camping next weekend and we're planning a trip to Tasmania in a couple of weeks.
