Again a warm wake up, and another warm day. Talking to Catriona it seems it is a tad cool in the Great White North. Just checked my weather page and at the house it is -27°C and falling…… Enjoy!
We just hung around the trailer this morning doing odd jobs and then had a lunch of fresh bread and cheese. When Lyn was at the other campsite yesterday someone had spent the day making bread from scratch (no bread making machines involved) so she bought a loaf. It was great, so much better than the airified (new word meaning pumped full of air) stuff you get down here.
After lunch we drove out to one of the conservation areas that we had visited before. The first stop was at a Pitcher Plant bog, where there was a board walk around the bog that led down to the Fish River. We are a little early for the main attraction, the pitcher plant, which is a funnel shaped flower that collects water in the flower for later consumption. Once down at the river we were glad to see that it was in liquid form and not a large ice cube.

Shortly after we got there a pelican decided to keep us company.

Evidently this wasn’t a social call, it must have been lunch time.
Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew?
Next we went across to another part of the conservation area and took another boardwalk down to Weeks Bay. Unfortunately there was very little wild life activity, there were more species of aeroplanes to be seen than birds.
On our way back we stopped at an old drug store / ice cream parlour in Foley where Lyn indulged in an ice cream soda, I stuck with a safe mint chocolate chip cone.
