yay, sun was out again! well, at least from time to time. spent the morning at cape grand national park east of esperance which, honestly, is a very beautiful place. the park has some fun walking & hiking tracks and some of the best beaches in australia. first we climbed to the top of frenchman’s peak, enjoyed the breathtaking views (and got burned) and then we went to see lucky bay which was announced to be australia’s whitest and most beautiful beach... i don’t really know if it's the most beautiful one – it’s impossible to compare (they’re all great:) ) – but it was in deed v e r y white. lucky bay is also the spot where you can meet kangaroos lying in the sun. we didn’t :( but still had great fun fooling around ("playing in the water" as kepo would say:) ) and swimming with santa clause hats!

back in esperance, we had to go on the great ocean drive again, went for a swim at west beach, climbed on some rocks and read stupid gossip magazines. fun! :)
