Today, I drove 100 miles (each way) to Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. Then I hiked to Wineglass Bay lookout point and beach, a roughly 3hr RT hike. It was beautiful and very challenging… sort of similar difficulty to the half of Half Dome (a.k.a Quarterdome) hike that MAS and I did.
So I’m toast, in more ways than one. I’m tired beyond belief and I’m also toasted with a sunburn. I wore sunblock, but I guess that it wore off with the sweat. The hole in the ozone affects this island more so than most other places. My feet look completely ridiculous since I have the sunburn marks of my sandals.
I saw a wallaby today, and I also saw a Tasmanian devil. Unfortunately, however, the Tassie devil was roadkill. Apparently the devils are being seriously threatened from some sort of face cancer. Weird, huh?
