Happy Birthday To Me

I don't usually do birthdays, but work has been frustrating recently, so any excuse to take a day off.

Headed down to Mornington Peninsula. First stop was a quick blast of sea air at Rye Ocean Beach. I've always lived close to the coast, and these last two years in Melbourne is the first time that I haven't been easily able to go for beach walks. I do miss them.

Then on to a spa and massage at Peninsula Hot Springs. Very nice. Haven't had a natural spa since leaving NZ, and the massage was a hundred times nicer than the one at the gym a few weeks ago. Bit pricy though, but nice to do for a special occasion.

Late lunch of Greek Fruit Salad (off the breakfast menu) at the Spa Cafe.

Then drove to Arthurs Seat State Park, and went for a two-hour walk around Arthurs Seat Circuit Walk, TC McKellar Circuit Walk, and the Seawinds Gardens. With camera, and wearing my new Fuel Belt for the first time (bought while I was injured). 6.8 kms.



Early dinner at Arthurs Hotel, before the 90-minute drive back home.
