Silverwater Resort: One Fine Resort
I am sitting in an armchair at the balcony overlooking the azure waters of Western Port. A Magpie bird, usually sedentary but sometimes confrontational, perches on the stainless railing. Several other birds are chirping as tree branches sway a little bit. The gentle breeze caresses my face. There is early morning rustling. I can hear it through my Phonak. Though partly cloudy, the sun peeps from time to time. Oh, I smell bacon.

It is now mid afternoon. I have been spending time just gazing and gazing around, what with a picturesque view. I sometimes take a nap. But I make sure that I don't oversleep. I make sure that I don't sleep the sleep of the drunk. That will be a waste of precious time. I surely will be missing a lot.

I see hundreds of cars heading towards Phillip Island. For surfing, fishing, enjoying the stunning views of the rugged coastline and visiting other interesting places. In a few minutes, I am heading to the town of Cowes at Phillip Island. There are boat cruises there. Then I'll spend some time walking around and taking pictures. I am enjoying my stay here at Silverwater Resort.
