Today we went to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse... it was Olivia's idea!! She asked us to take her to a lighthouse yesterday.. I asked her why she wanted to go to a lighthouse and how did she know about lighthouses and she said that someone at school had spoken about it for news.
It was quite a drive to get there from our place! Very windy and not very warm today so we bundled up... the wind was SO strong there that Jasmine nearly was blown over and when we were allowed to go outside onto the exterior of the lighthouse, the tour guide advised people to put their glasses away and also to hang onto small children!!!
It was a very interesting tour! I was wondering what he was going to tell us when he said the tour would take half an hour..but there was plenty of information given on the history and the running of the lighthouse... quite fascinating!! The girls were so good and seemed to enjoy the tour .. it surprised me a bit as I would have thought they might think it all a bit boring...but neither of them looked bored for a second!! I complimented Olivia on her choice of an excursion for the day... was well worth it.. funny in a way that we ourselves have never been there once in all these years....just never thought of it! We have been to the Leeuwin Lighthouse but we didn't go inside for a tour..there wasn't one running at the time and I don't know if we would have if there was.. it doesn't look very exciting.. this one didn't either.. we only went because Olivia had requested... but I'm really glad we did.. it was awesome fun!!!
