Rise ‘n’ Shine

03 Jun 2007

Despite getting lost on my way there, despite having to put up my tent in the rain in the dark, and despite the biking trails being half muddy hill-climbs, with the downhill sections being both slippery and rocky as hell, it was still a good weekend away with the boys.

Things I learned this weekend include: cheap port barely worth drinking makes excellent napalm on the camp-fire; un-cracked glowsticks do in fact glow on the fire quite nicely before burning; and camp-fire stew is bloody awesome - just hold off on the pyrotechnics till the stew is done!

Anyway, this was the view from my tent at 8am this morning. The Kookaburras had been laughing since 6am and my air-mattress was flat as a pancake so reluctantly I crawled out of my cocoon. But sometimes it's the little things like this that make me forget how much I hate camping.
