The day has arrived!!

One of the things that I promised myself that I absolutely, definitely, without doubt would do while I was away was to do the Wineglass Bay walk.  Today was the day for it and I'm so glad I made certain to include it, it was fantastic (Thank you so much to my brother for recommending it months ago to me)

I was so excited I took a picture of the road on the way.

And then it was time to start.  I've only made minimal comments about the below as I think the pictures say all that needs saying.

This was a final bit of fun just before the last rise to the lookout above the saddle.

Then it was time to cross the isthmus to Hazards Beach.

And then onto the cliff path back to the beginning.

And it really was a cliff path. (Yes, that's the track)

I'm overwhelmingly pleased that I did this particular walk.  It was definitely worth it.  According to my handy Walk guide this was 8.8km (bringing my total amount walked this holiday to 30km ) what's even better is that I had a target to get this done in 4 1/2 hours and I made it  I finished in 4 hours 20 mins.  Really pleased with that particular number.

Dinner was blah ! (take away fish & chips which I ended up eating not even half of)

I almost forgot the link to the complete photo set - here it is
