Cycle tour..

Hey. So much has been happening I am overwhelmed with things to write about. So I picked something small.. and will put some short articles on the blog to get caught up – slowly chipping away so you are all left with a clearer picture of where we are at..!

Last weekend we had a gorgeous, clear winter’s day. There was a chilly wind but you could only feel it in the shade. We took a 28km gentle cycle over the day along Hobson’s Bay.
Our first stop was a lovely brekkie with mates only 3km from home. With full bellies we took a ride through the park and under the massive westgate bridge to the edge of the Yarra. We caught a cyclist punt across the water and continued on along the water passed the hopeful fishermen (for once we actually saw people catching things!) and happy dogs being taken for walks. We arrived in Williamstown – Melbourne’s first sea port and now a heritage area. The main street is very quaint and felt like a million miles away from the city.

We had a look around and could not resist the French creperie - lovely buckwheat crepes complete with typical glasses of apple cider! Tim had an ox tongue which was surprisingly nice.. He loves the weird stuff the French serve up! We meandered slowly back – just in time for a stunning sunset. Lovely day.

Lovely view of the city.. we live directly opposite.




















Nerd Tim - how happy is he to have a water bottle clipped to his belt..?

Sexy Tim waiting for the punt. "Lovely word punt, it's almost a swear word" (Kim's best Tim quote of the day)












Willismstown Marina


















I loved the buildings and Tim loved the bikes















Proper apple cider from Bretagne! Once a month this place offers French evenings with super - got to brush up and crepes are a great attraction.

Lovely sunset - this is about 1km from home..
