Really was a GREAT day

I was worried about the long distance driving but it actually wasn’t too bad. The stops along the way were amazing. Unfortunately we couldn’t walk through the rainforest due to the weather but we were given extra time at another stop. Maybe “morning tea” could be more than just biscuits? Maybe some fruit? But lunch was good too. Thanks again :)
