Todays outing has made me realize that walking in the mid 30C's (95F) temperatures for 4 hours with very little shade and on very reflective quartz sands is not really the best way to spend a Friday afternoon. Next time, I think I should pick out somewhere a little cooler, like a rainforest or my next door neighbour's pool. I was too late for the Chrismas Bells (there were just a couple I saw) but this place would be great in the spring and I shall return.
