The Quest for Food

Perhaps food wasn't quite the reason for the quest, but that does make an interesting blog title. What it really was, was a canceled Ascension hike changed to a Whitmonday hike. We, the Shirey family plus one other, set off on our almost four hour hike lead by our faithfully brave guide, Stephan, who led us through perilous flower-covered meadows and life threatening sun-filled woods. We battled rolling green hills, and fought our way through sun shine and cooling breezes. Till we finally successfully arrived at our destination: a restaurant. There we met up with our second half of brave hikers who I am sure suffered equal difficulties as us, but through a different route. All eleven of us then had the opportunity of enjoying a refreshing cup of cool drink before embarking on our next adventure... ordering our food! As we yet again tried sorting out our correct order with the waitress, those steep hills and other terrors seemed like a simple trial. But you may all rest assured, we did receive food of some sort in the end and were able to contentedly go home and sleep, at least that is what I did. What an enjoyable day that was!
