It is so good to wake up & not have to pack up & leave! It was a very chill morning. I sat in my room until after 9am & made my 1st video. Chapter 13 St Arnaud to Boyle village. I’m glad to be playing catch up.

After this I went into the communal kitchen where Ladina had made us all a delicious breakfast of tomatoes, avocado & mushrooms on toasted bread! A great start to the morning .

We also did a combined load of washing, which meant sitting around in a puffer jacket & togs for a few hours waiting for the washing & dryer to finish.

This also gave me time to work on my next video (will post this weekend) & catch up on the blogs.

Later that afternoon we walked back into town to get the last of the supplies needed for the next few days of hiking. Ladina & I stopped for a coffee & an ice cream before walking back to the holiday park.

The rest of the afternoon was pretty relaxed. Ladina cooked dinner which was a very nice pasta & vegetable dish.

We are being picked up at 8:30am tomorrow & back out on the trail for 3 days then I’m having another zero with Antonia on Sunday! Really looking forward to seeing her again.
