Sunday 5-1-2014 (Bicheno)



I am currently lamenting the loss of mobility in my legs and feet. Now, you may question on how this occurred. Well. We woke up early and drove to Wineglass Bay. We had to get there early because of the copious amounts of tourists that visit the beach. From there we started on the reason for the loss of my mobility; an 11km walk. The walk started at the car park, travelled through forest, rocks and beach, then ended at Wineglass Bay with an extra 3km on the end (included in the 11km). The walk was great. Gabby and I shared headphones and listened to music the whole way. The downside to
this was that we had to walk very close; a feat sometimes impossible on the little path. We stopped for a break at a tiny, pretty, secluded beach about halfway to Wineglass Bay. Wineglass Bay itself was stunning, with white sands, turquoise water and orange and grey rocks. Gabby and I dumped our sneakers, an action that we would regret later, and explored the rocks. The water was cold and not many people were swimming. After a snack break we continued on our way. The last 3 km had lovely scenery and all, but was also very steep and rocky. We stopped at a lookout, about halfway back to the car park, overlooking Wineglass Bay in all its beauty. Finally completing our walk, we drove to Coles Bay where I figured out, as I tried to charge my phone, that the invertor had stopped working. Not only could I not charge my phone but we also couldn’t run the fridge. Dad, thankfully, fixed the invertor. We are currently at Bicheno in a caravan park. Mum and Dad went for a walk through Bicheno while Gabby and I read. I also spent some time cooking up stewed apples.

I shall take my leave to rest my weary feet, Maddy.

 Fauna: Wallabies on the beach, Skinks (that scared Gabby half to death) and an echidna.
