#Day 18

Sunday 18th March
With a scrumptious Sunday breakfast together, we read a
sermon on Romans 8: 1-17.
We then had a quiet rest of the morning, with some us
reading and the boys building a fire, and trying but not succeeding to cook
scones over it. We then had lunch and then Dad, Alex, Lee, Chris + I did some
kayaking up the Pieman river. What a wonderful way to enjoy God’s creation,
then being part of it, soaking in the sunshine and taking in the beautiful
views. We paddle a while, before getting to a fork in the river, where we
decided to take the fun direction, the one with trees and obstacles sticking up from the water, it
made us feel very adventurous going around and under the trees, after paddling
upstream for 50 mins we decided we had gone far enough. We then beached
ourselves against a high wall of mud, and decided we could climb it. Well it
was all fun until you stepped into the ooey, gooey mud, and tried to climb
using rotten tree branches, but we made it up, and what a view, dense
rainforest with not a soul in sight. Amazing. With much (or rather lack of it)
skill we managed to get back into our kayaks’ before making our way down
stream, a much easier route this time, and upon making it back we all agreed
that it had been a great 2 hours.
The rest of the night was spent relaxing and enjoying our
holiday from our holiday.
