We woke after a lovely nights sleep.  Our cottage has a breakfast hamper included very day and were looking forward to sseing if was as good as described.  It was delivered on time at 7:30amd and ..OMG The smell of a fresh warm loaf of bread was DEVINE!!

In the basket we unloaded, Bacon, Eggs (fresh from their own chooks!) German Sausages, 1/2 an Avodaco, Tomato, Mushrooms, Juice, the loaf of bread and a bowl of jam, honey, vegemite and penut butter

M cooked us a lovely breakfast and we managed to not eat ALL the bread 🙂

Being Good Friday, we knew many places would be closed today, so the plan is to do a forest walk this morning.

We had seen that there are many walks close by our cottages, but on looking a bit deeper, many of them seem a bit long and/or steep for us to risk.  It can be a little precarious hiking when you can’t see well  😀

One of the brochures we had collected was for Skywalk and it was open today.
Everything is only a short drive on the mountain and we arrived a few minutes after they opened.  We had expected it to be busy, and we were glad there not too many people around early.

One bonus was they had a discount for using the Seniors card. 🙂 There has to be some benefit in being “old” haha 🙂

Neither of us are particularly great with heights and I did not know how I would be.  M said he is OK with heights now that he can’t see the drop!!   As it turned out, the high railings made it fine and I did not get any vertigo at all.

We enjoyed a slow wander through the forest.  The paths are really well maintained, with lots of sign posts along the way explaining the plants we could see and some history of the area.

Finishing the loop we arrived back at the entry way and were surprised how busy it now was. We were VERY happy we came early.

Heading back into the village we went on the hunt for lunch.  Driving back up the Gallery Walk proved fruitless as there was no parking available.

We finally found parking for “Bailey’s Irish Pub”.

We were very lucky as they were also very busy.  We managed to secure a table for two, but we noticed many people being turned away because they were full.

The pub had decorated a tree for Easter.  It was very cute 🙂

We had a very delicious meal of Lamb Stew with Soda bread for me and a Beef and Guinness pie for M.

Feeling very full, we headed back to the cottage and relaxed for the afternoon.  (With another fire :). )
