Jervis Bay

I've been wanting to go to Jervis Bay for ages and I finally went this Easter long weekend. I've heard alot about the amazing white sand beach (Hyam Beach) and all the fun things that you can do there.

My friends often tell me how good places to go are and where to eat. I would always go and try but I would never set any expectations. If i do, I know I will be disappointed. I rather not set any expectations, enjoy and have a really great time, thinking it was wonderful.

I did the same with Jervis Bay. Many of my friends that have been have raved about how great it is. I've been looking forward to go for a long time. I wasn't disappointed. The beach was amazingly beautiful. The white sand was alot whiter than the sand in Sydney beaches, and alot softer. The perfect sunny weather helped of course but it was gorgeous.

Roy and I sat on the beach for a few hours in and out of the sun, just lying on our beach mats, snacking on chips and poppers, reading a book and chatting. We also jogged up and down the beach, watching dogs play in the water. It was truely relaxing.

We also went horseriding. It was my first remembering experience. It was great. I really enjoyed it. The 1 hour trail ride was really good. Sitting on the horse, bobbing up and down, looking up in the crystal blue sky, smelling hay and the greens from stems, looking at the stems and stalks of dry plants and feeling the warm of the sun was alot of fun, despite my nervous sweating hands holding on to the rope. I never thought that I would enjoy looking a dry long stem trees but it was nice. I'm glad I wore long pants and a long sleeve top, otherwise I would of gotten lots of scratches.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast which was really nice too. They had 4 rooms and the people there were quite nice. There, we met a lovely couple from Melbourne. It was a really nice and cosy environment. When we came home, we were greeted by other people who stayed. In the morning when we got up to go out to the kitchen for breakfast, we were greeted by "Good Morning" by the other guests there and have a quick chat about each others day plans. It felt very warm. The feeling was definitely not like staying in a hotel where you'd just ignore the guests and they ignore you.

The b&b was only a 3 min walk from the beach and they had good facilities. They had a chess board on the coffee table, and I was taught to play a game of chess. Lost, because I was cornered, but alot of fun :)

On one of the nights, we just stood outside, looking up the dark sky, looking at the glowing shining stars. There was so many. Like Roy said, a view that we wouldn't be able to get in Sydney.

The trip to Jervis Bay was really relaxing, very romantic, very memorable and alot of fun. Just what both Roy and I needed. A wonderful 3 day break.
