Quick Hike

Yesterday I started the day with removing a bird from the house. Today started with a tiger snake (baby) at the back door!
Things are never normal!

I have been quite busy. Rachel is still staying with us, garden and cooking to be done. But I have nearly finished sorting the day one photos of the hike and am looking forward to being able to start sharing the Overland Track story with you.

Yesterday we all felt a bit odd without tramping about for km’s on end with 20kgs on our backs! We really felt we needed to keep this active momentum going, so we took ourselves off to Anniversary Bay for a quick two hour hike.

We kept it totally civilised though with a proper tea break on the beach using our new-found coffee making skills to have a hot drink and a piece of cake.

While in the US I think I will be getting a chance to go to the Grand Canyon with my friend and do some hiking, so I totally have to keep the fitness up and hopefully shed a kilo or two more.

Does anyone else see a fox??
First time to see bluebottles washed up on the beach here! You DON’T want to tangle with these!

The stall went out the front today, but only took in $5. It rained so didn’t induce people to stop and browse. Its still raining steadily now.

Time for bed for me… I am fading quickly at the end of the day lately!! Must be all the fresh air!

Cheers!

Love the sand patterns!

  1. Please explain about the bluebottles. What are they?

    I do see the fox. So cool.

    I can’t wait to hear about your trip…

    1. They are similar to the Portuguese Man o’ War – but less venomous. If you step on them or bump into them swimming you can get stung. This link is a good one for some more information on them – they are actually a colony of animals acting as a single animal! Rather interesting creature!

      Glad someone else saw ‘The Fox’ 🙂 The sand patterns on this beach never disappoint!
