Canoe trip

Having spent the morning changing rooms and catching up on email etc, we made a plan for the trips and treks we wanted to do and then decided to take a short hike in the National Park towards one of the waterfalls.
However, the trail was a little overgrown and a couple of the river crossings were out – which meant we had to resort to stepping stones and the inevitable wet feet. So we settled for a short loop walk and headed home for lunch before the canoe trip which we had booked to fill the afternoon – should have read the programme a bit better. We had assumed and prepared for a spot of kayaking, only to find that we were in three-man canoes with a paddler.
A very relaxing couple of hours watching the scenery and the birdlife while our paddler did all the work.

Spotted a number of Chinese Pond Herons and also a couple of Black Capped Kingfishers.
