After an AWESOME Breakfast served by our Hostess with the Mostess...we set off on the final leg of our journey and about another 13klms of walking. Again through lovely little towns and farmland, and stunning eucalyptus groves. Distant glimpses of the ocean and two interesting women from the West Indies who invited us in for tea and a rest.
