We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Concerning Times

We have spent the last 9 days in Cape Arid and Cape Le Grand National Parks, east of Esperance.  It has been wonderful to see the beauty of the rugged coastline, pristine white beaches and crystal clear waters, and discover new birds and flora.
 
We are focussed on limiting the amount of time we spend in built up areas including large towns and are opting for more isolated camping spots, where overnight numbers are limited. We have not been in any virus effected regions, but it may be just a matter of time before that changes.

It is necessary for us to refill our 190 litre water tanks, get fuel, and a few food supplies from urban centres,  but overall we are keeping to ourselves, and grateful that we have our good health, are self contained and have plenty of National Parks and Nature Reserves here in Western Australia. We won’t be going on our tour of Mexico and the Caribbean cruise as planned in May, and will probably be avoiding Perth too.

Quite often we have no Optus coverage to keep up with what’s happening worldwide, but please know that our daily prayers are with you all and your families. Please take care of each other. I will continue to post some scenic photos of our travels and let you know where we are when I can.
