Taking a break in Ballina

When you arrive in Ballina, there is one thing, which you cannot miss. As we drove towards the town, I thought we were approaching a US theme park. On the left hand side of the street, there is a huge – a really huge – shrimp. We knew we had to get a picture of it before we leave.

After a good night sleep, the eight day of our journey was a rather uneventful ‘rest’ day. Our little one has been coping great with the heat so far. And a day at the pool in Ballina should help to further adapt.

Before we left Ballina, we visited Mr. Shrimp. Here is the picture. Notice its scale!

For scale: Below the shrimp in the bright orange shirt – that’s me.
