Breakfast
Tourist:
Look no fruit juice.
Another
tourist: I ate fruit. It wasn’t ripe.
I shudder.
I have become the food police. Most people know I spent many years working as a
dentist.
We are told about today’s walk. It is rated 4 out of 5. It is rated difficult.
10 out of
16 of us begin the walk up the gorge.
The walk is
rocky. Rock hopping. Lots of big steps. The person behind me pushes me onwards
and upwards to keep up with the guy ahead.
A couple of
times I stop and ask others for a photo of myself in the gorge. Deeper and
deeper into the gorge. We stop walking at a pool surrounded by steep rock cliffs.
Warm hot bubbles stream up randomly creating hot spots. I swim around the pool from hot to cool spots and back again. Dramatic changes in temperature.
Beautiful swim
in a beautiful pool. I have to prove I have swum in a beautiful pool. I ask someone to take a photo of myself in front
of the pool.
Return walk
back down the gorge. We don’t travel as a group. I wander by myself. Nobody
behind or ahead of me. I cruise sedately looking at the path ahead. Stopping to
enjoy the view.
