Today we tentatively planned an early 2.5hr walk followed by a Bruny Island Cruise, weather and sunshine dependent. Well the weather changed that plan. We would have headed out on the walk at about 7.30am but it was still cold and quite dark with the overcast day, so we decided on a later walk and to save the cruise for when we are older and can’t enjoy the longer walks.

We headed out for our walk at about 9.30 when it had warmed up a bit. The day was still overcast but the cloud a lot lighter than yesterday. We were doing a 7km walk in the South Bruny National Park on the Fluted Cape walk. It was very pretty and more scenic than yesterday’s very long walk. We hiked up 272m which was quite a steep climb. It was a lovely morning.

We then headed to “Get Shucked Oysters” for lunch. I chose 6 natural and 6 crumbed (GF) Asian fusion oysters. I should have stayed with the natural as the crumbs and asian fusion detracted from the oyster flavour. I should know better. Whilst there enjoying my oysters I can understand why they have an Asian fusion option. David had chips and warm artisan bread and butter. He was very happy.

We then dropped in to Bruny Island Honey and then headed to the ferry. We caught the 2pm ferry back to Kettering Point. After a yummy Valhalla Vanilla Bean ice cream we took the scenic drive through Huonville to Dover on our way to Cockle Creek for tomorrow’s walk.

It was a very pleasant day.
