Milestones


This will be the last blog entry from Australia until we return home at the end of June and today we did our last big walk before flying out in 3 days time.  We drove to the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens, parked the car, and then spent two hours walking 8km up and down hills of varying degrees of steepness carrying our full packs, with a leisurely stroll through the gardens to recover. It was a good test of endurance and we passed with flying colours.  We can do this!  My next entry will be from gay Paris!

Milestones:

v  Since training began, we have walked well in excess of 550km

v  I can now walk up ‘Heartbreak Hill’ twice, with a full pack, without stopping

Wendy nearing top of 'Heartbreak Hill'
v  I just turned 60

v  Steve just received his second zero reading for cancer

v  We’ve packed our packs for the last time
