To the Beach for a 'SPECTACULAR' Firework display!!

One evening we all headed for the local beach, the talk of the camp was the spectacular firework display planned to start at 9.45pm. The couriers told us that we would have a good view from the local beach. So we trotted off down there to witness this spectacular. The sunset that night was outstanding.....

It seemed to take ages to get dark, by the time it had we had been nibbled by the midges and were full of anticipation. As it happens the display may well have been spectacular .....

Had we have been about 9 miles closer to them!!!! The picture above was taken on full telephoto lens and it is barely visible!!! So all in all a huge disappointment and the car park operators made themselves a fast buck by staying open until the 'display' started and then scarpered with all the excess dosh they made from the mugs who turned out!!! You live and learn.

Finally we collected Carl from the airport after we had been there a few days. He arrived late as he had been climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Charity. (Thank you everyone who sponsored him!!!) On the way back from the airport we got took this photo, it disconcerting to see the air plane over the road , the bridge doesn't seem very high and the plane feels like its on the road!!
