Off after brekkers in the minivan to Bluestone Bay to start our day's trek. It was overcast, occasional mist and drizzle, which our guides said was great for them as they are bored of blue skies...hmmm.
Easy walking in the bush, our guides pointing out orchids, shrubs, listening to the birdsong, chatting, felt good to be hiking again.There was no chance of meeting other hikers ; the only trails are the ones created by the lodge guides.A canteen was boiled for mid morning coffee with homemade "scoggin".

| A surprise lunch in the bush : thought Ella's pack was even bigger than usual ! |
The last section of the walk was along beach and all swam again ; nothing like peer pressure.

| Tea on the beach |
Back to the Lodge for G&T and pumpkin soup (!) a clean up, canapes the beef ,vegetables, all cooked to a superior restaurant standard. Ok, this was not a cheap few days but it was terrific value.
