Day 34: Tumby Bay to Cowell

Woke to some drizzle overnight and this continued on and off till morning tea- just enough to be annoying but not enough to be a nuisance. We were still able to pack up in the dry and between showers. Sad to say goodbye to Tumby Bay even though we had all those storms. The townspeople were all very friendly and it seemed like a really nice community.

As I said, we had drizzle till morning tea but after that the weather settled down and the temperature has started to climb slightly. Rolling sand dunes today with constant sightings of the water throughout the day. The water here is just so clear and a gorgeous colour of blue (anyone would think we were in the tropics if the weather warmed up).

Arrived into Cowell early afternoon and the first place everyone headed for was the hotel that was just around the corner from where we were camping. The hotel also sold coffee and hot freshly cooked donuts which Di, who doesn't normally eat donuts, partook and said they were fantastic. Collis and I refused to eat them In respect of our son who owns "Shortstop Coffee and Donuts" in CBD in Melbourne.

We are camped at the foreshore caravan park which is sort of on the foreshore but it is a long way to the water. Lovely spot with great views and a nice little walkway amongst the mangroves. Dinner t the pub and it was curry night so we all went curry.
