Am I the only one around here that is actually telling you what is going on?? Hamsters and PG’s seem to be getting more of a look-in than the actual trip itself!
Yesterday we drove up to the top of Mount Glorious, a nearby mountain range. The views were as the name suggests! We met up with the biker boys..Teilo, Craig, Scott and Peter for a coffee. Robbie was feeling envious as he couldn’t find a motorbike to borrow. While we were there we went for a walk in the rainforest. It is really beautiful though we didn’t see much wildlife.
In the afternoon we went to the camping shop. I’m sure we could have spent the whole eleven weeks in there and Jack would have been happy. We have ordered two swags for the kids. Just hope they come in time for our next trip. Jack and Bron are so excited as they’d seen them on Ray Mears.
In the evening I went to hot yoga. When Kath said it was ‘hot’ I thought she meant ‘great’. What she actually meant was it takes place in a sauna. They heat the place up to 40 degrees then put your body into punishing positions for 90 minutes. I thought I was going to die!! The boxing on Monday was bad enough! I have never sweated so much in my life. If I don’t get a tight butt by the end of this trip I don’t know what I’ll do.
This is a picture of Kath in a Fig tree in the park in South Bank (Brisbane).
Embarrassed to say I had to look up swag in the dictionary. Presume you have a ‘bushmans bundle’ not an ‘ornamental festoon of flowers’! While you are swanning around Australia Ive been watching Wimbledon. Pleased to say to quote Telegraph ‘a gang of raucous Aussies’ were supporting our Andy Murray in fourth round. ‘The cobbers all togged up in yellow roused a diffident crowd’ Pity we didn’t have them there when he played Nadal. Pleased to hear there have been no encounters with giant spiders.
