Up early (6:45). We ended up getting ready quickly, so we headed up earlier than planned (I was told to get there at around 9 am, ready for the 9:30 am lesson start for Ethan). We got there around 8:15 am. Turned out that this was quite fortuitous, as the place is a shambles! But we managed to get to Ethan's lesson just after 9:30 am. Ethan had a full-day lesson (from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm), and they provided lunch for him. I had an intermediate lesson in the morni...

We got packed and ready to leave by 9:00 am Drove into town for the last time to fill up with petrol, then headed out. The first stop was Emerald Lake, 1.5hr's away. This made for a pleasant drive and much chatting. It was raining lightly at the lake but quite pleasant. Took a brief walk down to the lake, and as we arrived, the Puffing Billy train also arrived, so the place went from very quiet to very busy (well, almost everyone on the train went to the hu...

Decided we would see if we could get into the Go-Karts this morning, which we were able to book for 11:30 am. So we took a walk around the resort we're at and ended up getting coffee & hot chocolate (for free - after they made the hot chocolate by mistake) from one of the resort restaurants/cafés. Headed out to the Go-Karts, only 10 min away. The karts allowed me to accelerate / brake, but I could share/let Ethan drive. This worked great. And we had ...

Had a more relaxed day today. Got going late in the morning; our first stop was Pyramid Rock. A lookout not far from the car park at a predictably shaped rock… Then headed off to the Pinnacles lookout and trail. Meant to take between 30 - 60 min; however, we spent many hours playing on the beach. We had a lot of fun making up games and mucking around on the beach. Eventually, we finished the walk, which offered some great views. Unfortunately, we didn't ...

Got up around 9 am (I beat Ethan up for the first time!) and got ready for the day - we discovered the shower head lights up and changed colour when the water is running! We had planned on going Jet Boating at 11:30; however, we ended up moving this forward as the weather was looking a bit windy later (as it happened, it ended up being a reasonably calm day). Went over to San Remo for the ride. The ride was great (it was just the 2 of us + the skipper in a T...
