We woke up this morning bright and early thanks to the birds and the early rising sun. Time for a swim while the tide is high. The beach was amazing and the water temperature was just perfect.

Here is Ellie Jaz in her new swimmers, so cute she chose them!
After lunch we visited the Japanese cemetery which was pretty amazing. These are the graves of over 900 Japanese pearlers that have died mainly due to the bends or drowning. The earliest grave dates back to 1896.
Next up on the days agenda was a camel ride on Cable Beach, what a highlight! The boys and I decided to give it a go and it was fantastic. Bailey and Kai rode a camel named Horris who was the alpha male of the group and absolutely would not let anyone else lead, if anyone else tried to overtake he would bite and kick them. He was about 30 years old and had some attitude! I rode on the 2nd camel Zara who was about 20 and always wants to be upfront, if she is not in place 1, 2 or 3 she refuses to walk! While we were walking the tour guide tells us all about the camels, where they live, what they eat and everything else you would want to know about a camel! It was really a great experience.
Us meeting our ride...
Team Gibson up the front...
After the camel ride it was time for dinner so we went to the local Cable Beach fish and chip shop. Craig had a fish burger, the kids had fish and chips and I had the best vegie burger Ive had in a long time (sorry mum!). Topped off with a bottle of bubbles it was sensational! We sat for a while and watched the sun set into the ocean...
No we are not horribly sun burnt, we are orange from the sunset!!

This was the camel ride after ours, the sunset ride. Looks pretty spectacular...
The gorgeous sunset....
The kids were absolutely wrecked by the end of the day so it was straight home to bed.
