Day 2 Thursday 22nd March 22/3/07
Dear Diary,
How peaceful it is here! It is lovely except for the fact that almost everything is now dirty. After two days without washing I hope the next place we stop at has showers! I am particularly worried about my feet.
Today we went on a beautiful walk through an old cedar forest. There was a big cedar with a diameter of 133cm and a height of 48m. We also did a walk of 200m which came out to a lookout on pinnacle point. From there I could see Mt Warning, the plug of what used to be a giant volcano. There was a big bowl made by mountains and you culd really imagine the mountain range once being a volcano.
Later on when we were back at the campsite and had lunch Evan and dad went on another walk to a waterfall called Evan's Falls. I stayed back and did schoolwork. Before it got dark I read a little of the French book that mum showed me, deciphering it with the mini dictionary. I have learnt quite a bit of French now!!
The Borders NP
Of course! The ancient volcano crater that encircles Mount Warning is still etched in my mind. Though I must say any French I'd learned must have been negated by my German lessons in year 8... J'taime?
