Same start as usual, we woke and I blogged while Dan made breakfast in my kitchen. We were both feeling as though we hadn’t had a proper shower in a while so figured we’d go down to the creek we could see from camp and see if we could lather ourselves up with some soap….

Dan was up earlier than me this morning, which is very out of character. I’d had a great sleep and couldn’t get enough, even though I was excited to get back on to the Animas river. When I rolled over to find Dan awake, he was reading my blogs on his phone, reliving our adventures…

Dan was really slow waking up this morning so I lay in bed catching up on my blogs while he snored. By 9am, I was itching to get going and was thinking about creeping off in my van to start the day and leave a note or something, but he rose. We spent all of…

We had an uncharacteristically early start thanks to the bright sun and my need to get up and relieve myself. The view from the back doors was beautiful yet again so I was straight back in bed. Dan commanded me to lie in bed while he made breakfast. He already knew I’d be hungover from…

We had another late start to a beautiful morning in the forest. No hangovers to use as an excuse this time, but that didn’t matter to us! We played cards in bed (I won) before making breakfast. We were especially excited to cook up a storm this morning because we had a bit of mince…

We had a very, very lazy morning. We’d slept with our doors open to the forest and didn’t see any reason to hurry out of bed. We watched cars come and go along the dirt road and even spotted a few mountain bikers. Upon looking at my trail maps, I discovered we were parked right…

Emmi was knocking at our door early in the morning looking for playmates. I didn’t know what the sound was and it scared the crap out of me, but when Dan yelled out, “Emmi, stop it!” it all made sense. Dan had a better night’s sleep than yesterday but was still sleepy by the time…

We woke early thanks to a 7:30am alarm. Debbie had warned us that her cleaning ladies would be tearing the house apart at 8am so we had to up and about so we could be out of the way. Just as they got started we left the house to go out for breakfast on Debbie’s…

I didn’t even get out of bed to finish watching the Baku Grand Prix, I just leant over to the side and grabbed my laptop while Dan snoozed beside me. I could barely contain my excitement with all the drama of the race. With Ricciardo the triumphant winner, a Hamilton-Vettel drama and a teenage rookie…

I started the day with a fresh mind. Despite a bad half-night’s sleep where I dreamed about things installed in my car upside down and fuel lines going everywhere, I was prepared to use scientific method to approach this problem. I got my books out at breakfast, but didn’t really start getting into it until…
