Oh, how I wish I hadn’t lost my camera!
Jessi & I had some of the funniest & fun-est adventures yesterday.
Picnic & Swimming
I put together a picnic dinner, we grabbed a couple of bottles of wine and went in search of one of the local swimming holes. We ended up at Cedar Creek rock pools, chosen for it’s small rock waterfalls with spa like massage qualities. What started out as a beautiful warm afternoon, ended with a wild rain, thunder & lightning shower (not to worry we were sensible and hopped out once the lightning started) :D
Trees & Leeches
Our road home was blocked by a few fallen trees from the brief storm. So there we were, still in our bathers, clearing the road, exposing our flesh to parasitic leeches, scratching branches and cooling rain… and horror of horrors, not only were we well bruised, scratched, leeched and laughing, but Jessica had the misfortune of one evil leech latching onto one of her eye-balls! So disgusting and unbelievably vile!
Luckily we only found that out after we had stopped at the local pub…
Local Pub
Stopping to pick up more grog, still in our swimsuits, we dashed through the continuing rain, only to find that the power had been out for the past half hour! The pub of course was still open with a handful of locals still hanging at the bar, either drinking inside in the dark or outside on the front porch. We had to search the fridges & shelves of wine with a flashlight!
Banana Cake!
Returning home to enjoy a home baked banana cake, compliments of Monique & Maya!
As I said, truly wish I hadn’t misplaced my camera!
