::my holiday {part eins}::

It's been a few weeks, but I'm back on the blogger's cushion & ready to show this new year what I'm talkin' about. New year's resolution? Getting superwomanly organized.

Jase and I have just come back from a very nice 11 days in Tasmania, the first part of which involved being whisked off to the rough & rugged East Coast. The first two days of rain made poor Jase most despondent about the ideas of family camping (not having as much exposure to camp fire smoke & mozzies in sleeping bags as I have), but true to my promises, it cleared up quick smart (changing his ideas for the future entirely).

The first part included a 4 hour hike/aka rock scramble to the iconic Wineglass Bay (which really is a treat), searching through the smelliest of pockets for a $2 coin so we could operate the showers, blowing up mattresses again at 2:24am and staying dry on each other's laps in the caravan while it pelted down outside.

It wasn't the best of starts, but we were out there... camping. And like I said, it gets a whole heap better...

A bit of Coles Bay.. felt like Scotland or something

Quite a pretty collection of sea-ness that Laura collected

  1. Beautiful! Glad it turned out alright. :-) I can sympathise with Jason on this one... I've had one horrendous (understatement) camping trip and one that went without a hitch (the most recent one). :-) x

  5. Poor Emily - I know why so many people dread camping, but I've had a lot of good experiences so I still encourage it! :)

    Yes Beth, the scenery gets me every time!

    Mmmm Amanda, I have been waiting for sunshine and warmth for a LONG time, so I'm shamelessly taking complete advantage of it.

    Brit! So true... the memories are the bestest part.

  8. Hehe, it really is a gem of a location. I do believe YOU went to a rather heavenly location yourself these holidays? ;)
