Home.
Home. What an amazing adventure. Am I changed? I don’t think so. I know that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Did I get lonely? Sometimes. But I did have a lil guardian angel checking in on me each day, which helped keep those feelings under control. And…

It’s not over ’til it’s over….
Today, I had time to take it easy.Check in for the boat wasn’t until 4:15 and Devonport was only about an hour away. I figured a delicious brunch was on the itinerary.Rode about 45 minutes to the Christmas Hills raspberry farm. This is a really lovely raspberry farm that has…

A Waterfall, a beer drinking pig, a Swiss Village and a broken bike.
I am going to combine yesterday and today’s happenings in one post. Yesterday would have to be my least favourite day on the road so far. It started out quite nice, overcast but dry and not too cold. Had a really pleasant ride to St Columba Falls. One of the tallest falls…

Paddling in paradise
I woke up this morning with trepidation. Would the weather behave today? Cracked open the curtains to reveal a beaming sun and still air. Off to do some kayaking! I was the only solo paddler so I went with one of the guides as they were all double kayaks. This…

Wind.
I hate wind. I don’t mind a gentle summer breeze, softly ruffling my hair but gusty, pushy bossy wind? I hate it… Today I was supposed to be heading out on a kayak around Freycinet. Really looking forward to it. Got up, dressed and ready. Just about to get on…

A beautiful warm, sunny morning. I was booked on the Huon Jet which I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, they had some technical issues and had to cancel. So I headed out to find a new adventure. Rode through the stunning Huon Valley, hills lined with apple and cherry…

Feathers, fur and fins – My lucky day…
This day would be my absolute standout so far. Today I found myself smiling with absolute joy. That is something I haven’t done in a long time. Tasman Islands cruise.Personally, I wouldn’t have called it a ‘cruise’ as such. The word cruise conjures up an idea of gilding over the…

Terrible beauty.
Set out this morning early after a pretty ordinary sleep… Headed to Port Arthur area. This ride took me through the central midlands. Lots of lovely old towns surrounded by mostly grazing lands. Dropped into the historic town of Ross. This is a gorgeous town of wide, leafy streets and…

So many photos, so many stairs….
Apologies for the break in transmission.Spent last night in a very cool old Inn, in the middle of nowhere. Lake Leake Inn. Over 140 years old, a few kilometres along a good dirt road. Nestled on the bush with shingled walls and Old world charm.But no internet.. And paper thin…
