Merimbula

Back in March I had to go down to Merimbula to visit Merimbula Branch on Sunday for church. Amy came down with me this time. We had a lovely drive down on the Saturday, we stopped off at the Bega Cheese Factory on the way down and had a look around and got to taste some of the Bega Cheese- hadn't been there for years! We got to Merimbula around 4pm and checked into our motel and went for a lovely walk along the beach. We had dinner that night at a little tapas bar and had  the best calamari ever!

I went for a walk in the morning and got some lovely sunrise photos. Amy slept! I went to church. The owner of the motel kindly let us keep the room till I was finished at church went Amy could just chill out till I was finished.

We headed back to Canberra about 2pm, it was very hot and windy- it was the day the bush fires hit Tathra, which was only about 30 minutes from where we were staying. As we drove home you could see lots of smoke around from fires that were burning, one of which would have eventually been the Tathra fire. By the time we got to the top of Brown Mountain the temperature had gone from 40 degrees to 29 degrees so glad we were heading the direction we were. It was very windy and we could see smoke from a couple of fires in the distance so glad to get home.
