After our mammoth road trip, Els and I decide to take another lil' road trip, down south this time. R was due to to start his new job (deputy director dontcha know) and i think he's a bit 'girlied out' so we head off for a weekend of wineries and beaches. We arrive in Prevelly at dusk. Just as we get out the car to pitch the tent, it starts raining. We quickly get the tent up and try to inflate the air bed without getting it muddy. Camping's a wee bit more difficult in the rain. It's made better by our lovely camping neighbour who brings us over hot chapati cooked on the fire. Yum! We sit in the car and drink beer. We then get in the tent which seems to be leaking a little bit. Hmmm. I'm sure R would have something to say about our tent pitching abilities, but luckily he's not here! The rain is so loud throughout the night I keep imagining the tent is going to cave in. Needless to say i didn't sleep much. We spend the morning at the beach. Elinor's sunbaking attempts are thwarted by the clouds but she perseveres. In the afternoon we head to a couple of wineries.

Elinor tries a few wines and then a few more. I'm the skipper so I resist. We do however purchase a nice bottle of red which we drink with our supernoodles back at the camp. We're so classy.

The next day we visit more beaches and another winery. We sample a 'surfers pie' for breakfast - egg, bacon, onion and tomato - in pastry! Elinor has a successful sunbaking hour at Yallingup beach and then it's back to Perth.
