Getaway to Kei Mouth

Last weekend we were blessed once again to be able to go away to Kei Mouth for the long weekend with the W Snr's. We stayed at the awesome Kei Sands Resort on the beach. You can imagine our surprise when this is what we saw upon arrival:

Chocolate sea! Awesome. So the weather and natural elements weren't ideal, seeing as it rained most of the time, but we did manage to relax, read, spend time with the family playing various board games and cooking, watching Top Gear and sports. Of course the sun came out on Monday when we left. These sort of occurrences only happen to us. Here are some highlights from the weekend in pictures:

If you can keep yourself awake for long enough, you'll be able to see this rare sight just outside of Kei Mouth:

That's right, a pink airplane, perfectly named "Eish Airlines", because as you approach it your first words will most likely be 'eish, is that a plane?' It sits on a private farm next to a private school...why they need a plane and train carriages is quite the mystery we weren't able to solve, seeing as sign on the farm's exterior gate said "PRIVATE PROPERTY, NO TRESPASSING".  Other things worth mentioning about this getaway: we awoke to an intense domestic fight at 4:50A.M on Sunday. There was some confusion on Sunday night when 3 people congregated outside our flat to discuss getting hold of coast guards as flares were going off at Morgan Bay. False alarm though. Also, try play Boggle late at night! Hilarious!! This getaway was just another reminder of the importance of enjoying every second of life, finding joy in the simple things, and what family means to us.
