It's miles of of town and much is very hilly.

One par five is nicknamed "Heartbreak Hill".

I didn't know it even had a golf course.

Its officially winter, I activated the car seat heaters today for my 4.5klm commute to work.

It's somewhere near Bass Strait.

Im not a monarchist but strangely, Im very happy to see the Queen visiting victims of the Manchester bombing in hospital.

I was down that way ~8 years ago but didn't get a chance to play the course but heard that it was worth playing.

My parents moved there about 35 years ago, just after we had come to Canberra, so I never lived there. There are multitudinous relatives in the area though. I had a look at Google maps and see it it about half way between Inverloch and Leongatha. When I was a child we used to stay in our caravan at Inverloch over the summer. At that time we lived out of Warragul.
I suspect that the Korumburra course is much hillier though.

Is this another golf course nearby? Even better. Hilly courses don't bother me. Love walking and checking step counts.

I think Im going to break out of my comfort zone and stay at a few B&Bs for our Scotland trip next year.

Ive never stayed at one before and Ive already found a few I like the look of. Quite liking the "full Scottish breakfast" being offered, except for the black pudding.

DO you use a sportwatch to keep tabs on steps?

We did B&B throughout Northern Britain in the late '80's with a 2 year old in tow. You are a bit late to the B&B scene.

Think the success of B&B stays is dependent on you & the host having a shared opinion of how much interaction there should be. I think that may be why we moved away to apartments. We more enjoyed B&B's where we had reasonable space to ourselves & only interacted at check-in & breakfast

Black pudding is yum. Even more yum though, is heading to Ireland and having some white pudding :mrgreen:

I use one of these: https://www.banggood.com/Original-X...nitor-Bluetooth-Smart-Bracelet-p-1057324.html (use code mibd2 to reduce the price if interested). Cheap and cheerful but does the job nicely. Met up with the sales director at my regular haunt in Edinburgh yesterday and had a bit of a chuckle when she was wearing the same one as me.

I can see why people don't fly Jetstar.

For the city, I'll be booking Hilton or Waldorf, IHG ect but for Isle of Skye, there isn't a Novatel to be seen.

My husband shopping #2. I asked for 1 x small box of cotton tips and 1 hair product.

He bought 6 of each, enough for years.
