I still remember my disappointment as a kid when I learned that a place being called a "park" didn't necessarily mean it had a playground. That tofu burger sounds amazing! Though difficult to eat. I'd chop it up and make it into a burger "salad".eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-64163133076402380222012-02-03T04:40:09.848+11:002012-02-03T04:40:09.848+11:00Beautiful photos.

I love that there was so much more than just the beach - as you so accurately say - and that much of what you show looks as if it would appeal to all ages. I, for one, am impressed by that playground ;)<br /><br />I like the green bush too. That's one of the things I most like about Victoria (well, one of many things I like) as WA does dry out so quickly. And that tofu burger is very impressive but I imagine very challenging to eat?!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-24581255415518326552012-02-01T21:13:53.971+11:002012-02-01T21:13:53.971+11:00Sounds like you had a great trip and that tofu bur...Sounds like you had a great trip and that tofu burger looks enormous but fantastic! Love all of your photos. The first one reminded me of taking Jasper to the beach at Lorne when we were staying at Wye River a few years ago. He had a great swim in the rocky area between the beach and the pier. <br /><br />Lorne is a great spot but it does get so busy in holiday season, as do most coastal areas really. We had a similar experience at Erskine Falls, it's a gorgeous spot but way too busy and crowded to relax and enjoy.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.com
