I left New Zealand last week to fly to Perth planning to start the Bibbulmun Track on 1 September. However I arrived with a sore throat, lost voice and a cough. Covid-19 RAT and PCR tests were both negative thank goodness.
It is just a virus but I am delaying my start by a week to make sure I am well over it before I start putting my body under too much stress.
I have some friends to visit while I wait and have had some good time with my family. I have seen one Granddaughter off to her school ball and the other turn 16.
I visited the museum today and took notice of all the reptiles, furry creatures and birds that I will probably meet on my walk. Some look more friendly than others!! I may have to sing as I walk along because that would scare everything away.
Maybe not as the last time I sang in the bush ended with me getting very lost and needing a helicopter rescue.
Yes, that does look a bit scary! I hope you are feeling good to go soon. Nice to have seen the family though.
PS. If you take a tuning whistle, you can practice your scales in different keys and find out which one keeps you on the path and the dinosaurs away. Are you a middle C kind of a walker or a bit sharper? So much to discover…You could have a new career as an opera singer on completion…whatever you discover though, don’t stop singing.
That’s an award winning photo..the old and new Perth!!! Love it.
Won’t be long now Karen and you will be walking amongst the wildflowers.
Hey Karen. Wish you a good smooth start!!! Stay safe….and no singing along the trail:-)))))
