The sleepy town wakes up

With a day of relaxation today we headed into town before siesta time when everything would shut down. Expecting the sleepy village to be... well I suppose sleepy, we were quite shocked to see it buzzing with activity. Like a young toddler coming up from a nap it was full of energy and people. The only difference from yesterday was that the market was in town. The market was selling everything from clothes to tools to pistachio biscuits to cactus flowers. It really didn't help with finding a park space.



We finished in town and came home to have our own little siesta for an hour and relaxed. We then had to make a decision - the pool or the beach... Dad decided the beach (much to Luke's disgust), so we packed up and took the shuttle bus to the beach. We swam along the beach and back and got out for a rest. Luke got back in and for a boy who didn't want to go to the beach he looked like he was having the time of his life.


Dad set us a sand sculpture challenge of a crocodile that at first I ignored until Dad made it interesting with an ice cream competition against Luke. This I couldn't resist. A chance to beat Luke, I wouldn't care if it was a competition over a packet of tomato sauce, I was going to win. The competition came to a close when Luke tried to smooth his crocodile with water accidentally breaking off it's legs and putting me to victory!






Then it was back to the campground for a quick swim in the pool before dinner.



Tomorrow we have the model event in the afternoon for the Week of the Sun. That means another lazy morning before the big races begin tomorrow.
