The following   day began  with a thigh pumping run and after bacon and eggs a power walk followed  to Squeaky Beach .Our group activities began with surfing , my favourite  activity .After getting our wetties fitted we headed out to the pounding waves. After lunch and six or so amazing waves, there was no stopping me for the personal, group tour around the park on bikes, that night after dinner my evening activity was stelth a game like 40 40 but at night.
