Dinner was as good as the view

Good Old Chinwagging Posted on 30 September 2011 by Chinwagger2 April 2018

Earlier in the week we had planned to take the back roads right around the island, but some how fallen short of this goal, so today we decided to take as much of the inside  road as possible, it was much quieter on these roads and they are very good. I noted the radio station aerials of the transmission station … Continue reading →

Right on the Beach for lunch

Good Old Chinwagging Posted on 29 September 2011 by Chinwagger2 April 2018

Today was definitely a low energy day, we went for a ride around the island so that my better half got a good run on her motor scooter before we handed it back, we combined this with a trip to the shops for a few bits and pieces, and included lunch at a small restaurant on the beach. This location … Continue reading →

Wednesday is very sore day

That’s the plan. Because we could, we decided to go around the island in the opposite direction, … Continue reading →

A scramble over the cross island track

Good Old Chinwagging Posted on 27 September 2011 by Chinwagger3 April 2018

Today we scrambled over the cross island track, what a mission, it was hot, steep and slippery. We needed transport at the beginning of the track and pick up at the end,  this meant leaving scooters at both ends. We designated Papua Falls as our end point which meant leaving two scooters there, then heading off around to the start, … Continue reading →

Ladies on Scooters

Good Old Chinwagging Posted on 26 September 2011 by Chinwagger3 April 2018

The pressure for the girls to hire scooters had reached a peak, the time had come, there was no avoiding it we need them to have transport so we could go for our walk tomorrow. Sounds weird but that is the truth of it, problem was the initial enthusiasm for the bikes from the girls seemed to have waned a … Continue reading →
