The Boat House, Balmoral Beach

Despite all the photos of the beach in the last few posts, I actually never go in the water. I'm not much of a beach person (I know, how un-Australian of me) and I can't really understand people who lie in the sun to get a tan.  It's so hot! I don't like the feeling of the hot sun rays hitting my skin, plus it doesn't help when I get weird blotches instead of a nice even tan (I did have a tanning phase in my early-twenties, never again). Then again, I prefer the cool season over summer.
I do appreciate the beauty of Australian beaches though! I love walking along the water and then stumbling across a nice cafe nearby for brunch, like we did at Balmoral Beach. Perfect way to spend a summer weekend.
Ah, how I long for the weekend. Just three more days to go.
