I’ve been away for a few days. We did the Great Ocean Road and then went on as far as Portland. I got some photos and saw some interesting things but I haven’t really unpacked, let alone got the photo’s from my camera yet. We drove a lot and had lengthy and interesting conversations. Darin is definately easy to be with.
The 12 Apostles was a surprise. I visited probably 20 years ago and the place has changed in more ways than a few of the structures falling into the water. There were helicopters buzzing over the place and it was swarming with tourists. It reminded me of visiting the penguins at Phillip Island. It could be lovely but there were just too many people there to feel that you were connecting with nature. It had more the feel of a shopping centre, crowds, frenzy and lots of camera’s clicking. We didn’t stay long.
I got some new boots last week and I was wearing them the day we left. I didn’t realise that I had neglected to put my walking boots in when I packed, so I was basically stuck with the high heeled boots and a pair of thongs. It was a little chilly for thongs, yet I did elect to wear them when we stopped at beaches, or barefoot. Walking around with high heels is something I have rarely done for a long time and I must say I have been reminded why. I walk fast, but not with heels. I don’t enjoy the noise they make and walking is not the pleasure it normally is. They look great though, so I’ll just keep them for times when there’s not much walking involved.
I’ll upload the photo’s during the week. I am halfway through my holidays now. I feel entirely relaxed and have achieved a lot on different levels in the time I’ve had. I feel really blessed to have this time and the lack of planning anything to do with it has enhanced both my efficiency and enjoyment of the time.
