Road Trip Feelings

Most of my entries so far this holiday have been about what I've seen, but not much about how I've felt.

I've driven for over 24 hours already since Saturday which has actually been mentally fascinating, one of my hidden human senses is an instinct as to how far from home I am. I am very far from home. This sense might be behind my shoulder blades...

I have seen an incredible amount of Australian countryside and it has mostly been immense and beautiful.

I've been able to dedicate time to playing with my new camera, which I hope will reward me with better photos at some point.

I have not been working.

I've been hiking and using my whole arm again.

And I have been less cold. I soaked in more sun on the walking and driving today than all of the last week in Adelaide. I'm not wearing socks while writing this.

Next Entry: Yamba Day

Today was Yamba Day, a 24 hour itinerary I'd originally drafted for my birthday but thanks to flexible holiday scheduling we decided to do it on the ascent instead. It was a fantastic day.

Promoted Entry: The Hidden Life of Trees

I love trees. They're tall and stoic, so I relate to them. I feel a sense of serenity and belonging when walking beneath an ancient forest canopy and that is not just because most ancient forest canopies I've walked under have been adjacent to a thriving craft beer industry

Promoted Entry: Le Petit Train

I did not put a lot of effort into planning my visit to Strasbourg. There was an Alltrails map that promised a thorough tour of this World Heritage district and I took it at its word.

Previous Entry: Snags

Last night I cooked sausages on a BBQ in subzero winds, and today I ate them at 110km an hour. This morning we had breakfast in Blackheath's grand canyon.
