St Johns Church in Albany
View of the Harbour,AlbanyDay 46
Got an early start and headed south. Stopped at Bremer Bay and Cheyene’s Beach to see if we would stay as they had been recommended but it was a bit windy and cooler so decided to drive on to Albany. Arrive about 4pm and the park we choose is full with the last of the Easter crowds. We find another park at Emu Beach and are not disappointed. It is a little crowded but we find a nice spot, sheltered and with a beach only a couple hundred metres away over dunes. We need to have the car serviced so have booked here for 4 nights and there are a few other things we can do here as well.
Day47
Still a little cool, about 21 degrees and overcast but not windy. We decide to ride on one of the terrific bike/walking tracks that they have in many of the beach towns we have visited. We head into Albany town Centre via the harbour with terrific scenery. The town is very crowded after Easter and with School hols also but we manage to get a delicious coffee at the Albany version of the Choux Box. Back to Caravan Park for lunch and on the way Al and I book into golf at Albany golf course (grass greens!!)Which is 5 minutes from where we are staying? Alan is playing in the men’s comp tomorrow and I am playing with the ladies on Thursday. Bit of a worry since neither of us has played comp since well before we left home! We get a bit of shopping done and some info on the Bibbulmun Track which is a 975km (approx) walking track from here in Albany to Perth. I have always wanted to walk at least part of it so am going to go tomorrow while Alan plays golf. Not sure how far I will get but will report after tomorrow on how I go. We see Wendy in town and they are staying at another park nearby. Back at the camp, we finally get the TV going!!! Can only get SBS and there is a Spanish program on so hoping we get English speaking programs later otherwise we will have to learn spanish very quickly??? The caravan park has quietened down with many people leaving this morning so much more pleasant.
