Molins Down Under: Portsea and More Surfing

Cue another surfing lesson with Josh on Friday, and Anna joined in this time. She also loved it, so all three girls are hooked. Josh did notice that the girls were very camera conscious and seemed more focused on presenting good poses for pictures on their boards than actually surfing... but they did make it look good. So Toby has already purchased our own surf board to take around Australia in the van, which, in addition to the board we're going to borrow from our friends, means we'll be set to surf in some of the beautiful locations we're going to be going through.

Then Saturday - just a beautiful day of pure sunshine and a really pleasant 25 degrees - we courageously drove to Portsea on the very tip of the peninsula to check out the town, beach and snorkelling there. The snorkelling lesson with Toby was very useful because it was more challenging than the girls expected - there is technique to learn, especially when there's wind and current. I say 'courageously' because it was probably the last big day before the end of the school holidays so most of Melbourne seemed to have had the same idea - it was wall-to-wall cars along the road. Still - the beach still wasn't very crowded and we enjoyed seeing another cute (albeit much more touristy and rather chichi) town on the peninsula.
