Wine Glass Bay

Well ladies and Gentleman, yes you must put WINE GLASS BAY on your must do list, so get it out and wright it down....
I woke up nice n early had my eggs and I was off on my 2.5hrs drive to Coles bay which is the beginning of the national park, the day was going to be amazing,

Paid for my pass and Drove back to Coles bay, as it was $24.00 per car and can have up to 8 ppl or $12per person without car... So i was not paying $24.00 for my car, so i parked near the boat ramp and walked 4km along the beach and road till I got path for wine glass bay, Full of engery still i was gunning it up with hills, and then I puffed and there was a mutal puffing station which where I like to say i chatted to other fellow walkers, and the small world we live in strikes again, and ran into a couple from SAWTELL whom is a memeber of the Satwell Surf life Saving club.... such a smll world,
The great thing about this, is when u are rather home sick and you run into someone from home, that home sickness fads away, and a smile is brought to your face...

So it was back up the hill to wine glass bay look out, amazing, breathless... and I did not come all this way not to walk down onto the beach and put my feet in the water, so off i went down down down the hill....
(you know what that means i have to walk all the way back up)
But the walk was just worth it, the sounds of the waves breaking onto the shores, the birds tweeting and nothing but peacefulness. The water is so crisp, clean and clearest water I have seen in Australia. I took off my shoes rolled up my pants, and I was in hevan, the fresh water crashing onto my feet and for that moment I forgot I was in tasmania...

Then After I had some lunch, put my feet in the water one more time before I had to walk back up the Hill,
but at the end of the day I am sooo glad I finally made it to Wine Glass Bay... 14kms of walking (trekking) smell of ocean air, touch of fresh crisp water makes life so bliss

enjoy the simple things in life.

16.5.11 - Eden John Bennett was born

Well yesterday was a great day,

A lil boy was born around 1.15pm called Eden John Bennett, where bec gave it her might to push out this cute bundle of joy.... Which makes u feel all silly n happy inside.
Even though I was so far away i can not wait till I fly home in 25days to meet this lil one and give everyone a massive hug.

Now I am still sporting this illness called gastro that I want to punch in the face, if it had a face..... and feeling sorry for myself, but only 9more days left in tassie.... then I will be finally making my journey across the tasman along the great ocean road across to Adeliade.... when then means not long till i fly home,

I am soo sooo excited to go home, Absence makes the heart grow fonder, (right) We all take everything for granted until its gone, for us to realise how good we have it. Now Sawtell is a bloody good place. But its the ppl in my life there that make it sooo much more....

We all forget to stop and be greatful for what we have sometimes....

Woweee

So what a waste of a weekend I say,

I had planned to go away and trek Wine Glass Bay, but it turned upside down once I got the lovely gastro bug.

Early Friday morning, BANG!!! You know when u wake up and just have a feeling you are going to be sick, Well yup that what happened, started off spewing then move down south... On friday I have to say I have not felt so sick since god knows.... I was all light headed and to walk to the bathroom was more of a effort that I could believe. Saturday morning I thought I could go away but was not sure of how my tummy would be, and the last thing I wanted was a bathroom run in the middle of know where, where no toilets were around... pass.
So I was like Sunday morning I will get up and do a day trip to wine glass bay,

Saturday I had a massage thought it would be nice to just relax my body and went to see Water for Elephants.
I dont think people realise how their body language can make one feel when they go to the movies by themseleves, now going to the movies on your is not a bad thing but it does put u out of your conformt zone.
Which I think all must do once in their life. But honeslty its no difference sitting at home watching dvd's lights are off so who cares really...

After the movies I hit a massive wall. THEN BANG it hit me again, no spewing but the stomach the gastro.. I even run mum at 4am in the morning.... i did know what to do to...

Do u know there are 24/7 nurse hotline... well there is, and told me to get to the doctors now on a sunday after hours $81.00 bucks, NO THANKS... I will take my own drugs concoction and hope for the best... Slept all day......

So Lets hope I can get to port aruthr next wkend and possible wine glass bay as its my last wkend, and Quite frankly I am bloody glad..... which means only 2 weeks till I fly home to see family n friend, which I am need of very much....

Richmond

So today I was off on a smll adventure, sporting tonsillitis as well, but nothing like gargling warm salty water to help with the pain,

Anywhoo as I was driving I was dazing about life, as you do, Once I got into Richmond is funny how your memory come flooding back

Now I think and waiting on the girls for confirmation, as when I was last in tassie I was 16 play hockey for NSW, and we had a day off and went to the cadbury factory and on the way home stopped in a smll town, and today when I went to Richmond this was the town, being a 16yr I can understand why it has slipped my mind, as its a town which u would appreciate more a a adult, with the old convict style home, the police station is still located next to the old goal, and the beautiful yellow leaves everywhere,

Very cute town,

Multi Function Oven

Those who told me that it will be freezing in tasie are nearly quite right...

We have had a few fresh nites which I spent one nite in the camp kitchen with some fellow campers that I met whilst doing the dish, and they ask me to come back which I did,

Their names were Robert and Collieen who have been travelling around tassie and from the Gong, and a Mother with her children from South Australia, We spent the night talking about travels and adventures, It was great to speak to ppl other than at work and enoy a mini night out

As Vinny has canvas walls it would mean the cool chilly nights sneak inside.. which totally uninvited, and me who does not want to buy a heater has been living off my hot water bottle and keeping snugg, but my brain started thinking (whoooooo watch out) My lil convetional oven has heat elements which a just like a heater one, so I pulled the lid down pumped up the heat and wola I have heater and OMG  it works like a charm

I come back from the bathroom and Vinny is toasty toasty

HOCKEY

WOWEEEEE Telstra, well i have not really been able to blog due to internet, and I tried with just typing n word doc, but just did not have the same feel... u know,

So i have been in Hobart for 2 weeks now, and  Just been crusing along, I have relocated caravan parks, to Barilla, which to on the other side of town, and much much noicer, No stinky ducks and omg the wind is clam and peaceful.

Well Carol my manager at work has hooked me up with another lady who play hockey, so I can do some training so i dont put more weight on and keep up some fitness, So on thursday I went to training and my gosh my ass got sorer as the days went on, Which then turned into a game on Sunday nite.. OMG i dont think i have been so excited.. but in doubt of my fitness.... But so good to get back onto the field and run around, and yes the fitness is not good.well can be better...

But before I got through my Game on Friday I ended up out on the Hobart town with the boys from work... and I must never ever try and keep up, esp when I have not drunk for over 2months.... spewy mcspew spew its starting to make a habbit in each town.. I will not repeat in a while as i waste the next day and miss out on adventures because i am in bed....

Well lets see how the next 3 wkends go as I have port aurther, wine glass bay, and richmond....

Lest we forget

Bit chilly this morning, but I was up and went to the DAWN service in Hobart, and Must say there is nothing better than the crisp air as the sun starts to rise listen to the bugle as we remember... Great feeling
Then i went home and had a lil nap as the day was going to be grand, Once I got going I went back to the parade and service then I walked around n around looking for the RSL... and could I find it.. nope!!! nope so after walking about 4km I decided it was time to head back to the car....
I did pop along the way into the Museum and art centre in the city, which is what I would call art and history unlike the Mona... very interesting factors about the Antarctica, So I head back home and Thought Sun is shining still why not have a glass of pop might take the edge off and would chillax...
Nope another reaction to the POP, so i have come to the understand I cannot drink beverages that can make u do funny things, feel funny and think boys are hot when they are not, as my face burned up again and went all red n hot n bothered, so I had to have a tea instead... BORING me
I am only glad I don’t have the public holiday, being in a town where you don’t know anyone on a long wkend is not my ideal wkend. I think also spending alot of time your own can not be good for you, as you think n think n think toooo much for my liking,
Well Whilst I get my people stimulation and do my part for the country Enjoy ur Tuesday off.
