END OF WEEK 3

Friday night M spent with her Swiss friends in the city until 9:20pm when she caught the train.

She slept late Saturday morning and I had to wake her so we could get away to Tamborine Mtn which didn't happen until 10:45.

We made it to the Glow Worm Caves at Ceder Creek Estate Winery.

I didn't know it was an artificial cave before my visit. It was well done for many reasons.

The Glow Worm caves I have visited in NZ and Tassie only allow a view of the glow from the roof of the cavern. Some these Worms at Mt Tamborine are deliberately placed on the walls so they can be viewed closely under UV light.

They can perish under the breath and touch of humans, so they are moved with a paper clip.

We could see the larvae and the silk the drops from them like fine raindrops. Quite magical.

The light shines from their tail when they generate waste through their kidneys.

I was impressed.

We missed seeing the bride that was to arrive at the Winery.

We took in the view at the Nut Shed and browsed in the shops.

I stocked up some light items to send in the Swiss package later in the year.

Through the help of locals and after a couple of attempts on previous occasions, we made it to Curtis Falls.

The kids wanted to make a dam in the water, so we stopped to do that before heading to the Skywalk.

We inspected the gift shop and decided that a 45 min walk was more than we could cope with, so had to forego the opportunity.

I lovely drive home.

Stake Conference today.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.

To Dean and Janelle's for a lovely lunch on such a warm day.

Home for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and popcorn while I read some doctrinal articles from BYU archives.
