Day 435
Sunshine Coast
So finally, it’s here! All the way back to last December we had made the plans to meet up with Tom’s brother Jim. End of August was the plan. Here, in a fantastic house set in the hills above Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. In the end we had eight friends and family here and it’s been so wonderful and relaxing.
We’ve done what families do when they get together, cycled, hiked through stunning forests, swum in the sea, went boating, eaten and drunk too much and talked from morning until late in the night. Jim’s made exotic cocktails, Tom’s chopped wood for the wood-burning hot tub. Evenings have been spent jumping between the hot tub and sauna. It’s been paradise and tomorrow it ends and we’re back on the road, today though we celebrate cousin Mark’s birthday with fry up breakfast, plus all of the above!
