We went Hashing last night


Ben and I waiting in line at the Eiffel Tower


Some of you may know what i'm talking about but others may say what the hell are you talking about. Hash running is a group of people that get together and go for a run. However there is a twist. You have to find your path that has been laid out with by flour. So some people end up for awhile running in the wrong direction till someone calls out to say they have found it. We ended up running through paddocks with cows and sheep, through long grass, rivers, forrest and lots of mud. All up we ran about 7km. We end up back at the pub. They have a saying they are a runners group with a drinking problem. It was lots of fun. I have never heard of this back home but when I checked the net last night there were lots of groups around. It is worldwide and the next interhash is in Perth itself.

We went running today also in the national park and gorges and there were some really tough parts. There were steep hills with a bit of rock climbing in there. The views were spectacular though. It was well worth it.

So the fitness side is definately going a lot better and the eating part is going quite well. It is so nice to be eating home cooked food and having the control of what is available. Our friends even have home weights that Ben pulled out today so I even got some weights in.

Love Amy

Amy it sounds like you are having the adventure of a lifetime!! Your contiki tour sounded fabulous, and I have to agree, Rome had some breathtaking sights didn't it! All that ancient Rome stuff was my favourite... *sigh* if only I could travel more often!!

Hash running sounds interesting, and lots of fun too!

Enjoy the english summer!

Hey Amy,

Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog.

Your travels and adventures sound amazing except for the bit in Miami that would have caused you much stress!

You did the same Contiki tour I always contemplate when thinking about travelling, - the one 'London to Athens' passing through France, Barcelona, Italy Corfu, Greece and getting to the Greek Islands!

Enjoy your adventures in London!
