Sunburns and Kangaroos..that's what Australia does.

January 29th - Our first trip to the beach was more than successful….and if by successful you mean black and blue eyes, third degree burns on our legs and stomach, and blisters on our hands. We loaded on sunscreen and zinc and even with the protection we used, the two hours in the sun was more than our midwestern-albino skin was ready for. Apparently there is little to nothing left of the ozone layer here and the sun will bite you like a shark. (I'd rather the sun than some huge prehistoric Great White taking a bite out of my scrumptious arm.) We left the beach and went to Fishnets, a local joint well known for their fish & chips. We ordered grilled Hoki fish that was maybe the best both of us has ever had. A lazy afternoon followed that consisted of icing sunburns and drinking Cooper's. For dinner we experienced one of our new favorite meals, Brent cooked Kangaroo to perfection and we made tacos with refried beans, avocado, beet root, spinach and tasty cheese. We were slightly hesitant at first, but after the first bite I don't think we stopped until we each polished off three or four of them. True statement: Kangaroo is better than sex…….Ok, maybe I wouldn't go that far, but it's better than second base.
