When it rains, it really rains


So, we were sailing along peacefully on Kogalla Lake when the downpour started. Thunder and lightening added to the atmosphere and Donna had me convinced that having my brolly up would render me liable to be struck by lightening! So we all got soaked instead. But we stopped at the first island, Cinnamon Island, and the boatman took us to a small stone house where a woman made us cups of cinnamon tea, gave us shelter and then sold us cinnamon sticks. We were happy though because they were very hospitable, the children were delightful as you can see from the photo and let's face it they needed the money. We then set off further along the lake and stopped at another island as you will see above.
