It was heaven this morning - we had no alarms waking us up... just the sunlight coming through the windows at about 8.30am. Me and Nikki had a little cuddle and then got up, in good moods, to find that our caravan was being overrun by ants! Nikki ran to reception, who gave us some spray and we spent the next couple of hours eating our breakfast and killing insects... brilliant... not!
When the last ant was gone, and we were all ready we went out for a walk the Tourist Information had told us about. We started by walking into town, and to a place called Home Point, which was a small marina-type place with loads of little boats. Next we walked along the edge of the river for about half an hour, from Kings Bridge, along a trail which took us in between Cataract Gorge.
The gorge was great - with huge rock walls towering above us, and the river running down below us. We walked all along the track to a place called First Basin, which had a huge outdoor swimming pool and also a lake that people were swimming in. We spent the rest of the day led on the grass, sunbathing (it was 25° today - so much for Tasmania being cold), reading and swimming. Well, I say swimming - only I got in. Nikki got in up to her knees and Steve... well he slept... as usual!
This evening, just as the sun was started to set, we walked back to the caravan and Nikki cooked us all a meal, which was gorgeous! We then sat around chatting and chilling - it's surprising how laying about in the sun can really take it out of you (ha ha).
WOW! Everybody should visit Tasmania... it's FANTASTIC!
