Bombo Beach, Vincentia, Erskinville

My first Christmas day outside the UK was started with breakfast just off the beach. It was pretty busy with walkers and runners seeing that it was Christmas morning. We ate breakfast then swapped presents. It was good doing that as it made just another hot day feel Christmasy. Angela gave me an Australia flag and sticker for my bike and I gave her a selfie stick. Get ready for a wave of new photos.

We set off south and came to Bombo Beach and found a good camping spot hidden away behind some buildings overlooking the bay. Wild camping is pretty easy if you time it right and choose the right surroundings. It also saves you some money.

So Christmas day was spent on the beach and in the sea surrounded by Aussies all having their family get togethers in 90 degree heat. This is the traditional Aussie Christmas dinner. No turkey in sight just seafood and the Queens speech is replaced by sun and surf. The next couple of days were spent with Joe and Judi in Vincentia. This is a town in Jervis Bay where the sand is white like flour and the sea is clear and warm.

Joe got out his snorkeling gear for us to have a go with. It's been a long while since I had done any snorkeling but I soon got back into it. The beach at Hyams is where a lot of holiday brochure photos are taken and it's easy to see why.

We left Vincentia and returned to Sydney to stay with our previous host for 2 nights. We have spent the last two days pretty much in bed suffering from a stomach bug. On a positive note my weight is staying down. On a negative note it's embarrassing throwing up and having the shits at a hosts house.
