...Uh oh....
A week to go until I get possession of my condo...and I'm having doubts...that's right...doubts.
f$%k....!
I had these images of what I wanted my place to look like...what colours I would paint the walls..fixtures I would use...curtain rods I want to put up...etc. But I was looking through the pictures of the apartment today...and I realized...most of the stuff I want to do..is just not possible because its the most awkward set-up of an apartment EVER. Look at the bedroom window....what on EARTH is that little dip in the ceiling on the right?? the window isn't straight all the way across...how is anyone supposed to put curtains over that?? and and and...the tiling in the kitchen....its so awkward....the tiles go higher on the right side than the left side...what IS that?! and how am i supposed to put sheers over the window in the living room if the right window is smaller than the left one?
ugh....someone hand me a drink...oh wait..its Ramadan...$%#@!#$
I am amazon woman..not really..but you get the picture..
Soooo....went camping this weekend...and not just car camping like Ulla Dulla in the Oz...but real hardcore no-showers-or-running-water-lotsabearsandscarycreepycrawlies-camping....left Friday afternoon for a 4-hour drive north to
Bruce Peninsula National Park.
As we were driving in...in Nabhan's words..an "ominous" storm was brewing which set back our plans to hike out to our campsite so we ended up having to spend the first night at the family campsite on
Cyprus Lake. Was good times...smoked a little shisha...cooked a little sidekicks and sat around the fire while it rained.
The next morning we set out for our 2-hour hike along the cliff-side to our campsite in an area of the park called
Storm Haven. It was grueling with our packs adding extra weight, but I gotta say not as grueling as the Spit to Manly bush walk last year...I did however take a little advice from that bush walk with me on this trip...I definately "leaned in to" the uphill climbs... ;o)
After arriving at our campsite, we set up camp and spent the day exploring the area...was a beautiful site...camped right next to the beach and went to sleep with the sound of crashing waves....fetching water from those waves was quite the experience but fun still...during the nite we had an interesting visit from some racoons that scared the living daylights out of me..imagine waking up to a peering face of an animal right in front of you...yah...
Sunday we headed out for a hike from Cyprus Lake out to the Grotto which is an underwater cave...definately one of the coolest things I've ever done...you have to climb through this tiny hole in the cliff to get into the cave...seems scary at first but it opens up once you get through the main part...and its definately worth it...once you're inside you climb into this huge underwater cave that has underwater tunnels and gorgeous warm turqoise water..felt like I was in a scene of Pirates of the Caribbean...was very awesome...
So two days of no showering, drinking water we filtered ourselves from the lake, freezing my a$$ off, and hiking through a cliff-side for four hours all for a camping trip....was it worth it you ask? hell yes....don't know if i'd do it again tho! haha...thanks nabhan for the experience! weeee i'm a nature person...
