Roadtrips, the flu, rugby and tsunamis

Over the past few weeks there have been a road trip with the in laws to Lake Macquaire, I wish I could say this was a fantastic and magical lake but in fact it was just very big and not very pretty. However we did go to Caves beach and it was pretty awesome, the beaches here are so fantastic.

Went to see the Knights take on the Raiders and it was absolutely freezing, I didn't really know any of the rules much but it kind of looks like a sport where you are most likely to end up with severe mental retardation due to not using any form of protection. I mainly ate wasabi peas and tried to ignore the howling woman behind me.The zoo had a little stand with a baby crocodile and other baby animals which I did not hang round to find out what they were. But the end result was a teeth rattling windy cold night and I got the flu. I would like to belive this was the swineflu so I would be immune but somehow I doubt it

We also had a tsunami warning here, they briefly and oh so casually mentioned that they put out a warning. I was half freaking out as I envisioned waves of water as tall as skyscrapers and not to mention crocodiles and sharks who live in the waters to come swooping over me.

End result was 20 cm waves on the beach. Major crisis averted I think(also apparantly there are no crocodiles here) But it was really weird as you don't really get them in Europe. Conclusion the weather here is kind of violent.
