11-25 deg C, sunny and very windy!
After a massive sleep-in (only woke up at 6:15am!) we had breakfast then hopped on the bikes just as the wind decided to blow in, and not very gently at that. We rode the foreshore and then into town to recce a coffee shop. Once found, we headed out to Mullers Lagoon. It was then back into town to the coffee shop, aka Joccheims Pies, for mornos. After the rather substantial mornos, it was onto Queens Bay, Grays Bay, and Horseshoe Bay. At Horseshoe Bay we walked up to the Rotary Lookout which gave us some spectacular views of Horseshoe Bay and the ocean beyond. There was a large Navy ship out there. Before heading back to the van for lunch, we just had to have a go at riding up Flagstaff Hill to visit the Interpretive Centre. So, after a fairly hefty climb, we discovered the Centre was closed - Cyclone Debbie (Mar-Apr 17) had caused it to close and it has been closed ever since. So, we had a look at the view instead. Coming back down the hill was good.
Lunch and an LLD were had, then whilst Wendy did some "work", Greg went out again to do some admin stuff. We then discussed where we would head tomorrow and the final decision was Ravenswood.
It
was then time to walk to the pub for our traditional Thursday night pub meal.
We went to the Grand View Hotel and Wendy had a steak and Greg had a kangaroo
steak washed down with a Marlborough Sav Blanc. The walk back was good to
settle the dinner. It was a bit fresh on the way home as the wind had not yet
gone to bed. Another good night on the road.
