Hello People,
We are on the road again -- at least for a few days. We are fitting in short trips while Karen is working, and getting back for her two days off, Wednesday and Thursday. It is such a joy to see her enjoying her new job so much -- a fantastic kitchen and a great atmosphere of teamwork among the chefs there. We ate at the restaurant the other night with her and wow! what a meal. This is really the kind of cooking she was trained for and the bonus is she gets on extremely well with the head chef, who is indeed a nice guy.
We are now on Bruny Island, off the south-east coast of Tasmania. It is almost two islands, joined by a very narrow strip of land. We have just come back to the campsite after watching a huge flock of shearwaters (sometimes called muttonbirds) arriving back on land as they do every evening, and loads of fairy penguins also coming "home" after their day out at sea. The two lots of birds manage successfully to share the same hillside and it was fascinating to watch them finding their own nesting holes. Not good for photos unfortunately as flash was not allowed and it was virtually dark when they started to arrive.
Tomorrow we do a boat trip round the island, which by all accounts is spectacular. Hope to get some photos then.
Cheers.
