This is such a peaceful, beautiful place. It was so dark and quiet last night that we didn't wake up until 7.30 this morning - unheard of for us.
This Lodge is self catering - there's a really well equipped kitchen, plenty of fridge space, and lots of tables to sit out indoors and out or you can take a tray back to your lodge.
We decided to do the Hopewell Loop walking track behind the lodge this morning. It was pretty steep - walked for a hour but then abandoned it. It was pretty hard going for less-than-intrepid hikers! Too much gorse and wasps.
On our return our host asked us if we would like to join mussel night tonight with all the other guests. We're looking forward to that!
We later watched a German family kayaking. One of the children capsized. It was neat seeing them solve the problem for themselves. There was no crying or calling, for help. Another capsized while helping, then they all paddled home. The parents (watching from the shore) told us that it was their first time in kayaks.
Another walk this afternoon. The scenic track this time. Nice to sit and relax now. We're going to go on the mail boat tomorrow.
