Day 45: Robe Rest Day

The wind got pretty blustery last night but seemed to settle down by first light. Collis and I were nice and cozy in our final cabin for the trip. I was spoilt with a cooked breakfast in bed before we showered and headed down town for a hot chocolate.

In town we came across everyone but Neil. Jacquei and Jim had breakfast in town but Doug and Di had a Canadian breakfast in camp. Not sure what Jen and Neil did for breakfast. Collis and I then went for a long walk around the town and saw parts of this town we didn't know existed . We were trying to find the coffee roasting place but I was directing and of course took us in the wrong direction. It was a nice walk but it was getting very cold as the wind picked up from the south.

On our return to the camp ground we were told that most of the tents had started to lift in the wind and were heading into the lake. Fortunately one of the caravanners was around and he had spare pegs that he has lent the campers until they leave tomorrow. He pegged everyone's tent down securely and saved some food box lids and our chairs from going for a swim as well.

It was such a cold day that Collis climbed into the electric blanket and had a nanny nap for most. Of the afternoon.

  1. Jim helped me cook the pancakes for the Canadian breakfast and did a very fine job. All the riders were there except Jacquie who was hanging out for a good coffee in town.
