Day 2 in Paradise.
If you were impressed by #16 Version M and the cycling feats- then you should be amply impressed by our rides up the hill.
Feat #1. Hols and I rode down to the bridge to check on Grandad and Ed (we were not sure if they would make it back up again). Cycling back up the hill almost killed me but as I was trailing Holly I was not going to give up. After 10 min regaining my breath I decided to bribe the kids $10 if they could ride up without stopping.
Kate was the first to take on the challenge and did a stellar job. She almost threw up at the end and was horizontal and not feeling well after it.
Feat #2. We worked out how to start and drive the ride upon mower. Next thing to learn is how to cut the lawns with it. Waiting for Mark to teach us that one!
Feat #3. Finding a way to the river without being bitten by a snake. The grass has grown to so that our usual path to the river was too overgrown. There was no way we were willing to go through that.
Besides these amazing feats, we visited Sheffield and the Emporium where Ed bought some rocks and we had Fudge n good Coffee.
To end the night, Sal cooked slow cooked chicken and we played “Shop” with Grandma and Grandad. Why can’t you buy pineapples from a Shoe store?
