We
both slept so well the evening before.
Woke up ready to go… and it will
be on our time schedule and we took advantage of that! Lazed around with our coffee and books after
a great breakfast. Today we planned on
taking a good walk. And a good walk is
what we took, 5+ miles.
Walked
to the town of Coles Bay in search of… yes you guessed it… a geocache! Great walk along the shoreline for a little
more than a mile, then we went into this sleepy town… population 250 (unless it
was their summertime, but we are here in their fall, so it was just
perfect!) We have noticed their birds
here and the songs and chatter they make are so different than at home. We meandered along as they chirped and made
our way to the beach surrounding the Bay.
Found the geocache, and then just stood there a while enjoying all that
God has created!
We
headed back to our digs cuz by now it was after noonish! Got to our room and took advantage of that little
plunge pool they had. We could not stay
here and not check it out. Kinda chilly
when I first put my toe in it, but that passed. Cleaned up afterwards and went
for some lunch before the massages we had scheduled. Met a nice young couple from Chicago and
spent the better part of 45 minutes chatting.
We’re both leaving tomorrow, they for Hobart, ourselves for
Melbourne. Jerry and I love connecting
with folks on our journey and this was one of those times.
Tomorrow morning one will find us at the airport, headed for Melbourne and it's new adventures that await us!
Takes courage to post some of these closeups!
The lodge from the shoreline!
See, if we weren't geocaching, this is a view we never would have seen. Ya gotta try it out folks!
Signing log!
These mountains are called the Hazard Mountains...
Pano shot of the bay...

Excellent fun!
