We left early, stopping in at Coles Bay for breakfast. It was then time to commence our Wineglass Bay walk.

The walk was quite arduous with lots of steps and at times, a gravelly cover.

At one stage, Wayne went for a proposal on one knee – a lovely slide in the gravelly path. Our team assumed a wolf pack mentality with our pack leader at the front (Michael) and a couple of strong wolves at the back (Robyn and Al).

The first lookout was spectacular and then we had to negotiate the 1000 stairs down and back to the bay.

We got down to the beach but the ocean was full of blue bottles. No swimming for Donna.

We began the walk back up the steps and I cannot lie. It was hard. Full credit to Donna who persevered through tiredness and pain and conquered that mountain.

We enjoyed a quiet lunch back at Coles Bay before journeying back to our accommodation.

Drinks on the lawn before heading to the Saltshaker restaurant for dinner. The meals were superb although Wayne was denied both his stuffed chicken and his corona – they had run out! No one had an empty plate – a testament to the chef. Robyn and Al also indulged in a beautiful cheesecake dessert.

PLAYS OF THE DAY

#1 – Donna conquering those steps to and from Wineglass Bay. Her determination is inspirational. (Sorry, you didn’t get your swim, Donna).

#2 – Karen and Michael for always being last to get their meals. It doesn’t matter if they order first, in the middle or last. They are always waiting.

#3 – Karen walking into Swansea to look at the shops with knick knacks and dresses to find most shops shut on a Wednesday. Of course, they do!
