Day two of Hidden Valley

This is delayed, but better late than never! On Sunday we woke up and had a delicious brekkie (Australian for breakfast) and got ready to go on a hike. Our guide, Ross, then took us on a hike through the bush. We were following a road for a while and then all of a sudden he just took a left off of the road and we were walking through the grass. He grew up there so he knew the area really well, but I was amazed that he could know exactly where to go. The bush is so different than the forests at home. There are trees here but they aren't anywhere near as thick as they are at home. So after hiking for about an hour or so we were warned that it was going to start getting pretty steep (we were heading downhill). He wasn't kidding either, but we took it slow and made it to another cliff, where it was even steeper and rockier. But at this point we could see a beautiful gorge that was waiting for us below. Don't worry I made it down safe, I managed to save my clumsiness for swimming later. I managed to slip on the rocks and fall, it was pretty funny. It looked like a cartoon, my feet just came right out from underneath me. No injuries, promise!

We spent the afternoon here; we had lunch and swam in the river. I jumped off a cliff again, this one was a little scarier! It was a blast! No one wanted to leave, we actually tried to delay as long as we possibly could. After we left the gorge we hiked back to the resort and packed up to go home. It was a little depressing to go back to campus after such a great weekend!
Well anyway now that you're all updated on the happenings here, I'm going to go to bed. I'm off to Sydney tomorrow morning for the weekend. I guess there are a million gluten-free places to eat there--including pizza, burgers, tacos and bakeries. I'm bringing my big suitcase so I can bring food back here. Seriously, I am. Totally not kidding on that one.
