Up at 7am, had a shower, put the kettle on and brewed up. Left about 8.30, went down to the office and paid for the accommodation, then off to Picton for breakfast. Ate overlooking the palm trees on the very pretty harbour, amazing how much better everything looks after a good night's sleep. Had poached eggs on toast, a bit overdone, but with HP sauce they tasted great. Fran had bacon and eggs and Mum had croissant with home made jam. Me and Fran had tea and Mum had a lemon, ginger and honey tisane which smelled really good. Set off up Queen Charlotte Drive after a traumatic experience in the local toilets. They were electronic, you pushed a button to get in, then a disembodied voice told you to lock the door and gave you 10 minutes to do what you had to do. Music started playing whilst you sat or whatever, then it flushed when you put your hands under the sensor to wash them. Auto soap and auto dryer, more music, instructions to push the button to exit and then it thanked you for using the facilities. I felt emotionally scarred by the whole experience!
Anyway we left Picton. The road was a roller coaster ride around the headlands as we started to rise. We stopped in the next cove to take a few snaps. It was where the logs were kept before being shipped out. It was really beautiful, what a place to work.
