Got to Freycient really late in the evening and pulled into the National Park’s camping site. This place is so popular that ballots are drawn to see who will stay here for X’mas. This side of the coast is famous for its wonderful beaches that people can hardly swim at because it is so blooming cold with Antarctic water. Woke up leisurely in the morning packed a picnic lunch and took for to the Wineglass bay walk. Moderately difficult with steep climbs. Omg!!!!! On a positive note, I must be getting fitter as my lungs don’t burn as much and my knees didn’t hurt too bad. It was a steep climb though and well worth the effort to get to the top and then all the way to the water’s edge. There were a couple of tame Wallabie on the beach hanging out for some food from the people. One of them wanted to poke its head into our bag to have some lunch – poor guy struck out coz the Stevos don’t feed wildlife. Sandwiches are so much tastier when eaten outdoors and we refused to share with the native wildlife. We had a lazy lunch and did what we wanted to do – Alex rock climbing, Paul fishing, Kate and I walking along the beach and then rock climbing with Alex. I could have camped the night there quite easily if there wasn’t the long walk back up the hill. Kate and I got a head start as I thought it would be hard slog for me. Only two stops along the way and we made it to the top. Not too bad at all, but my body is telling me about it while I type this blog up.
