Adventures galore!





I just got back from a wonderful few days away at the Colo River, with a very dear friend who is practically a sister to me (we grew up next to each other and even when we were on different postings we have stayed close!), and my hubby too of course. :)
Anyway it was great fun, we went bushwalking for an hour and a bit on Saturday after we got there in the arvo, and that was lovely, the cliffs are amazing and the river is so pretty. Then on Sunday we got all dressed in our short shorts and t-shirts and went Kayaking for a good three hours. We think that we went about 15kms by looking at the map. And we stopped on the banks and had a picnic lunch and made a little fire and had billy tea and it was just lovely. I am so grateful for Team Sexy Arms though, without all those push-ups I definitely don't think I would have been paddling as strong as we did! We even got to explore a little tributary, it felt like we were in the Amazon! Was very cool...
anyway after the bright sunny Sunday we woke up to a miserable Monday, but that didn't stop us going on our hike/bushwalk from the top of Colo ridge to the Colo river, going up and down ravines etc! It was great fun, and Hannah and I were delighted to discover how fit we are! We were very impressed with ourselves! We descended 350m, along a 7km track, and none of it was level.... Anywhere...
and it was wet and all the plants were wet and we were SOPPING wet by the end, but we had a ball!
