Seriously, when was the last time you went hiking?
I don't think I've really had a last time. The ONLY time I went hiking was doing a couple of 1hr walks in Tassie, and that's all there is. Climb a couple of steps, pant a little, look and your watch and wonder if the destination is anywhere near, and then marvel at some lookout.. and reverse the whole sequence again.
It's a long weekend here in Melbourne, and the highlight of it is bushwalking at the Werribee Gorge State Park, an hour and a half's drive away from the city. The circuit we took was a 4hours, 10km route. Just in case you are wondering, I did secretly chart up the possible 'exits' I can take, for good measure. Good thing I didn't have to use it, and was among better hikers. The gorge was pretty, and there was a couple of nice lookouts. We travelled along the river, and it's amazing how I climbed those huge rocks and ambled through the narrow edges of the gorge. Quite frightening sometimes! That again, is one of my greater 'achievements', a going out of your comfort zone mental challenge accomplished.
Clara and I had a great time trying to get a surprise birthday party going for Cindy. Operation Cindy's Bday went in such a clockwork fashion- wenli buys present, shuan gets the cake, clara brings the deco, clara tricks cindy out, mike brings cake over, wenli, mike and shuan decorates the house, clara brings cindy back home, suprise!
When was the last time you had a surprise birthday party??
