This time we headed back to an area that Jen took Tracy and myself when we last visited in 2003, called Conanicut Island in Jamestown.
It was not a sandy beach like we are blessed with in South Australia, rather it was bordered with some massive rocky ledges and looked to be the envy of any fisherman who comes from a land of sandy beaches.
We spent close to an hour here clambering over the rocks, testing whether the ice pools were frozen enough to hold our weight and generally just enjoying the scenery.
We then headed into Newport which was a further 15 minutes away and was a quaint little town that reminded us of a much busier Goolwa from back home.
We agreed to head into a favourite eating place called The Brick Alley pub for an early lunch.
This had traditional pub burgers and similar meals that we all ordered and devoured.
The pub itself was decked out with a huge range of motoring artefacts. I never got an answer as to what the significance was, but it made for a very interesting experience.
We realised just how smart it was to go in for a pre 12:00 lunch once we had finished. The place was now jam packed with people lined up and waiting for up to half an hour for a table for lunch.
Not bad for a Monday that is not even a public holiday or traditional annual leave day here.
The next few hours was spent exploring all the local shops, searching for public restrooms and just wandering around as though we were tourists.
We then headed down Ocean Drive which is a very well known road otherwise known as Millionaires Mansions road. These houses and properties were ginormous.
Starting price is somewhere around the $5million mark. I only have $4.999 million to go.
