WPIPS Camp 2013 Day 2

This morning we woke up, not so bright, but fairly early, ready for a packed day of fun.

We then had breakfast, went for a run, and left for Cowaramup.

After we had bought our own supply of lollies and chocolate, we got to watch the honey-crunch being made and poured, and even got a free tasting, at the Candy Cow.

With our sweet finds!

Yummy, fresh honeycrunch

You would think we’d never seen cows before, as we roamed the streets of Cowaramup posing on every cow statue! We had to leave the cows behind, and start our journey to Yallingup, taking a short detour to Gracetown.

We had lunch before entering the maze. Inside the maze, we decided to have a competition where the first pair of buddies that found their way to each corner (1, 2, 3, 4) won. Is was a very close competition, between Bonnie and Margie, and Sophie and Amelia, but Bonnie and Margie won! Apparently Hugh and I were the biggest cheats, but I don’t believe them! By the time everyone else had finished, Odette and Jen still hadn’t found their way to the first point, but we all helped them and they finally finished.

Our afternoon was quite simple, but still lots of fun, involving going shopping for bathers which we later got to show-off down at the beach.

On our way to the jetty, we stopped to pick up our fish and chips. After we had eaten our dinner, we all walked the jetty and back. After awhile, we all decided to go on the big swing at the park, which wasn’t such a great idea. It was all lots of fun, until we had to go home all dizzy and sick. It all ended well, and when we got home we had showers, wrote in our diaries, and got to get a well deserved sleep.

At the end of the jetty!

All in all, a really great day! xx Lucila

WPIPS Camp 2013 Day 1

This morning we left Darkan at 9.30AM ready for the 3 hour drive. On our way to Busselton we stopped for lunch at the Donnybrook playground and met a very interesting little girl who told some amazing stories. Her name was Niamh and her stories blew us away, Bonnie even started crying from laughter. The saddest part was when Niamh started crying as we told her we had to leave. Then we were back on the road again!

We soon came to the Yallingup Ngilgi Cave. It was AMAZING!!!!! Most of us got to slide down the tunnel of terror and refused to ever go back! We learnt lots about the cave, the history and how it was formed.

Cool lights were in the cave

We had to lie down and look up at all the crystals coming towards us

We then got a tour of the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. We had great views from up top.

We arrived at the Busselton house and settled in well before everyone except for Sophie enjoyed yummy yummy pizza for dinner. We all wrote in our diaries listening to some pretty funky music and then tragically were made to share our opinion. The day/night finished with an awesome game of Balderdash that Lucila won! Grrrr just by a bit!!

LOL Heaps of fun!! xx Jen & Bonnie ;-)
