12/08/07: Wave Rock

Maybe it’s going to end up being a bit of a signature thing for the two of us, but today, we’d slept in (so most of the morning was already gone) and after a nice leisurely breakfast, I said to Chris ‘let’s drive somewhere!’. But where? ‘we’ll toss a die!’ said I. And? He asked. Well, if it’s 1 or 2, we go north. If it’s 3 or 4, we head east. If it’s 5 or 6, we’ll go south. It was 3. So we packed our picnic, and drove east. And we drove. And we drove. And we drove. And… oh yeah. We just kept on driving. Five hours later – not kidding, not exaggerating, not lying – we found Wave Rock.

Sure, the sun had already set and the mozzies were out and we were freezing and the puppies had to be fed so we couldn’t very well just spend the night and we still had a five hour drive to get home; but you just can’t put a price on experience can you?

We’d come all the way out here, we were damned well going to have our picnic on Wave Rock. So we quickly climbed up, had our very quick picnic, and had to get back to the car before it was too dark to see anything at all. All in all, it was a 10 hour car drive for a 40 minute stint at a nice place we didn’t really get to see. If we didn’t laugh we’d cry.

Job well done Tania and Chris!
