Hi!
Had my second last Cruise Ship Market Saturday… busy day with great sales… boy oh boy was I tired!
Today was slow… with some half hearted housework.
Anyway, to continue!
This little creek crossing I was hanging out for! It was pretty hot so dipping my head into the water was super refreshing!
We started getting to the point of seeing ‘views’ too!
Totoro had a few photo shoots…
Then into the mossy forests we went.
Yuri, being the author of several Japanese Moss Garden books was so amazed at this area… even in the hot weather when its not at its best… its still beautiful!
Jeff was usually up ahead… and we kept finding Totoro in various places!!
Time for a quick posed snap!
We were getting a little tired and looking forward to a lunch stop
Hello Yuri!
Even in summer its a bit dark in the tangled mossy areas.
Nice to get back out into the brighter light
More picture taking! Picture taking of pictures being taken??
And here we are at the lake – ready for some cheese and relish sandwiches and a bit of a sit down
The sangers were SO good (Yuri is in love with my relish haha) and I did a bit of a paddle in the lake to cool off
Unfortunately there were no shady trees at this spot so we didn’t linger excessively… just enough time to eat, drink and recharge the energy batteries!
From here the track still goes a long way but it meanders more in an across and downwards fashion.
And the views are lovely!
We started walking through different bush areas
Open scrubby areas and a few more mossy tree areas!
It really never gets boring thats for sure!
Some bright berries!
And sweet paper daisies
How great does the bark on these trees look!!??
At this point the track just seems to go a bit too long! We know Pelion Hut isn’t too far… but it takes its sweet time appearing!
By this stage poor Yuri was like ‘dead man walking’ and just stumbling along on automatic, bless her cotton socks! She did an amazing job!
We were all fairly tired by the time we reached Pelion and set up our tents!
After a bit of rest and relaxation and food we were quite fine but very much enjoyed getting to sleep that night!
Anyway, I shall try to attend to a few more photos soon to continue the story!
