I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou

 During the summer, my family and I went on our annual holiday to Eden, New South Wales. The first morning there, I woke up at 7.30am and made pancakes with buttered walnuts, blueberries and honey and enjoyed it by the beach. 

My family and I drove to coastal town Merimbula and stopped off at Oakland on the way. There, we saw some giant sunflowers, a cute gift store, a little cafe, a telephone booth, a brewery and a chocolate factory.  My mum and I loved the gardens.

For lunch, we went to Merimbula Aquarium & Wharf Restaurant. It's a bit lavish and expensive, but we love returning once a year and we emjoy the delicious seafood pasta.

For dinner, we had a bit of “this and that”, which basically means a mixture of food from the fridge, when you don’t feel like making a proper meal. Oysters, smoked salmon on cream cheese and crackers, dolma and leftover sausages -yum.

The day ended with a walk around the caravan park, a swim at the beach and a photo by the "fish wall" (the caravan park's laundry is painted with an ocean of fish).

This is the first time I've worn this blue dress. It has seahorses and shells hidden within its pattern and is perfect for the beach. I bought it on eBay for $28 including postage, and I'm very happy with this dress. I think blue might be my colour!
