We went on a hike in Sydney Harbour National Park. The weather was beautiful. Warm and sunny - a complete opposite of the forecast. We again had second thoughts.
We had lunch at Manly, and it was still warm and sunny. Where was the rain? Had we made a mistake in not going camping?
We headed up to Freshwater Beach after lunch where Raleigh went to surf. During the time we were there, the warm breeze turned chilly, the sun disappeared, and dark clouds filled the sky. Finally, the storm that was forecasted had begun brewing.
By the time we had finished at the beach, thunderclaps boomed down from the ominous sky and heavy droplets of rain cascaded down to earth. The storm had arrived.
On the drive home, we all agreed that we were glad we didn't go camping. Apparently, according to Adam, there was a severe weather warning for the area we were going to camp at. Camping in the rain is no fun anyway!

Sounds like you made the right choice re; the weather good to have a backup plan"B". When you head to the airport for your return home if the weather turns bad again your backup plan could be to turn around and stay there for another 3 weeks until it blows over
Another lovely beach shot... It's a balmy 33 degrees right now.

Kyle,
I finally got to a computer to read your stories. Sound like your having a grand time. I would love to be there too. I enjoyed your pictures. The next time we get together, I hope to see all of them and hear your stories.
Love Grandma
Hi Kyle,
Glad you stuck with plan B. I know you definitely remember what it is like to camp in the RAIN!!! It's much better to stay dry than to have your sleeping bag float inside your tent. I'm sure whatever you'll do, you will have fun. I can't wait to see you again!
Love Mom
