Zoey turns 2
Zoey's birthday at Cape Leveque was celebrated with all the fanfare of a kid's party. Presents, cake with candles and lots of singing " happy birthday." The cake was made in the camp oven and turned out perfectly. The highlight for Zoey was definitely the bubble wand. What's not to love about a 2 year old giggling and chasing bubbles. " Bubbles, bubbles, big ones!"
Sunset at West Beach Cape Leveque is a must do for all visitors. It is not just the sun sinking into the ocean, but also the setting rays illuminating the red cliffs against the white sand. Felix and Zoey played in the waves along the shore line. Zoey appropriately attired in her (now 2 year old) birthday suit.
We had planned a couple of nights at Cygnet Bay,only a few kilometres from Leveque, but changed our minds as Leveque is a difficult little paradise to resist. Unfortunately we could only retain one of the bough huts so Brit, Simon and kids moved to the camp ground near the reception and restaurant. We still all ate at our hut overlooking the sea, camp fire at our feet.
A couple of snakes
While it is easy to be lulled into a warm sense of safety at places like Leveque, nature comes along to remind you that we are the interlopers. Brit headed to the toilet one night sans turning the torch on so she wouldn't disturb the sleeping children. She tripped on something on the concrete pathway and turned the torch on to see what it was- brown snake crossing into the bushes. Fortunately it continued, seemingly unperturbed. The next day Simon spied a snake near the restaurant and photographed it on his phone and showed the picture to staff. They were somewhat blasé until they looked at the image- King brown, same as Brit had kicked.
