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
Have a great trip.
