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. We walked around picturesque coves as the sun rose. The sky was blue all day. After breakfast on the balcony we walked and rock hopped from Pippi Beach to Angourie. At the other end we ordered coffee and visited the Blue Pool.



Sitting in the shade of that coffee shop, hearing the ocean, watching the ferns, and smelling the coffee was particularly serene.

After racing the tide back and a quick swim we went to the local brewery for lunch and a tasting paddle.


A lazy afternoon followed which included drinking beer at the seaside and sunset walks, and finally delicious chicken stir fry.

What a beautiful day, definitely deserving of a birthday.

While taking a holiday was supposed to be an escape from much of life's routines, I was not expecting to abstain from eating almonds for over a week. Finally this weekend I have resumed my almond and apple morning teas in the presences of some grand waterfalls in Springbrook and Lamington National Parks.

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

Previous Entry: 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.
