• A 9 year old, and Mimbi caves

    May 16, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    And just like that, Hugo turns 9!

    The requested French toast breakfast went down well, before we set off on a tour of Mimbi caves with ‘Ronny’ (just one Ronny here, not two - his joke, not mine)

    The caves are within something of a massive Ampitheatre, which when you walked into it, felt like a completely different world - ancient somehow. A German couple built a rudimentary house and chapel here in the 80s, still standing today. They also had a games room, complete with chess set.

    Shanti and the boys did manage a swim, which Papa and Centine didn’t even begin to contemplate. Water was “very cold”, which by their standards, would put it somewhere around 14 degrees I think.

    Back to camp for some baking - birthday cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles :-). Not quite perfect on the recipe, but still pretty good.

    A shower at the facilities here was appreciated, as we know there won’t be such luxuries again until almost June
