Blown Away - Literally.

Well Lancelin had the makings of a lovely coastal town, and we did have a great time. But the numerous kite boarders and wind surfers should have alluded us to the fact that it could get seriously windy here! The first two days were average winds, still windy but we could walk on the beach, swim, play in the park, fish and watch the sunset whilst the kite boarders entertained us. But on Saturday the wind got worse and worse culminating the the caravan rocking and shaking all Saturday night whilst we got belted with ferocious winds. Daniel and I hardly slept as the windows and fly wire smacked together relentlessly. By morning the car and caravan were full of fine white sand blown in from the dunes. We couldn't even go near the beach as a blanket of white sand was blowing along it. The winds were gusting at 40km plus and the kids could hardly walk against it. Anyway it was kite boarding paradise and we got a great show. It looked super fun and Daniel has now added a kite board onto his Christmas list.

Super fine sand dunes- amazingly soft.
