Today, our plans were for an O’Reilly’s Segway Ride, one tick off Carole’s bucket list. We had about 40mins of training and then set off the segway. The O’Reilly’s Segway Ride is off the road. However, they usually go down dirt tracks and through a small stream; we stuck to the roads. We walked to Morans Falls, leaving the Segways in the carpark

“I realized something on the ride. I realized if I wait until I’m not scared to try new things, then I’ll never get to try them at all.”

Marie Sexton, Between Sinners and Saints

The walk to the falls was pretty and not too arduous. But we were on a tight schedule as Rob, our guide, had to be back to ferry a heap of guests up to Moonlight Crag for a wedding. Therefore our pace was much faster than we usually do at a waterfall with lots of steps. 

Back up the top, it was off on the Segways again back to O’Reillys.  All went well until about 10ft from the end when Carole came off the Segway. No significant damage, but the knee swelled up over the afternoon, and she was on crutches the following day. We took it quiet for the rest of the afternoon and relaxed in our room before heading down to the dining room for dinner and drinks.
