Breakfast and Swimming at Leighton Beach.

Tuesday was a mix of eating, sunbathing and swimming in the beautifully clear ocean, and then shopping, and meeting some Aussie wildlife with one of my besties. Basically all of my favourite things.

Cait and I got up early and went to The Shipping Lane to grab breakfast, it was a cool place, but they got my drinks order and Cait’s food order mixed up, and I much prefer Bib & Tucker just across the road.

Anyway, after our breakfast (which was actually really delicious when we eventually got what we ordered), we walked across the road to Leighton Beach, which is one of our favourites. The sun was completely blue, that bright Australian blue that blends in with the water like some magical watercolour, and the ocean so clear we could have been in a swimming pool.

Please excuse my eyebrows, they’re pretty gross right now and I need to get them sorted ASAP. Anyway, we chilled out for an hour or so, had a swim, then dried off in the sunshine before jumping in the car and going down the road to Freo.

After two days of deliberating over grey or black, I bought the black hat for just $20 from Cotton On (if you’d seen my Packing For Australia video, you’d know how much I  l o v e  Cotton On), and Cait got some new Birkenstocks! We then headed over to Caversham Wildlife Park to say hi to the koalas and wombats, but more about this tomorrow, I don’t want to give you too much excitement in one day 😉
