In the port of Stephen
James recovered from his tonsillitis in time for our trip up to Port Stephens, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We drove up to our rental house late Wednesday evening and, after some clambering around in the undergrowth, we found our home for the next few days. In the morning, we were able to appreciate the lovely views and make the very short trip to the beach.
We arranged to have dinner at the Rock Lobster restaurant and, although the service was a little slow, we all enjoyed the meal. However, as we were making our way back home, a rather ominous sound came from the lower level of the stroller - James had been sick, and needed a good clean-up. A visit to the doctor in the morning confirmed that he likely had a case of “gastro” - but, fortunately, it didn't seem to effect James too badly, and he still enjoyed playing around on the beach and climbing in the Tomaree National Park. Caitlin also did particularly well on our climb to the top of the headland, managing to walk for around 90% of the steep climb to the peak of the southern headland.
Despite James' illness, we all thought that the area around Nelson Bay was beautiful, and the lack of crowds meant that we had the beach just 50m from our house almost to ourselves!
