You'd reckon that after 10 hours of sleep, a full English breakfast and a planned shortish day we'd be raring to jump back on the bikes for our cycle from Kingston to Robe but with tenderised butts, creaking knees and a breezy morning we were less than enthusiastic !
After much procrastinating we finally left overcast Kingston jumping back on to a narrow main road in almost perfect peletonic discipline slowly knocking over the km's as we cycled through countryside that comprised open countryside, a few hills, the occassional vineyard and little else !
After only 2 1/2 hours we passed the Tourist Info welcoming sign indicating that Robe was only 5 kms away ! 2kms onwards the official marker again indicated that Robe was still 5 kms away ! If we'd had the energy we would have gone back and dug up the TI sign and taken it into town planting it into some bureaucrats desk !
Our top 4 caravan park allowed us early entry to our cabin where we mainly relaxed until later on in the day when Chris took us out on to nearby Long Beach for some 4wd experience and a late afternoon BBQ on the beach a unique touring experience for anyone.
Marysia "i never drink beer" Murray enjoyed a couple of well earned beers while we enjoyed a great bbq while the strong wind set about depositing sand in places where the sun does not shine !
After nearly 400 kms covered we are over 1/3 of the way back to Melbourne and look forward to taking a day out in Robe tomorrow as the weather cools down.
This was recovery day only just over 40kms which was about all our still tender bums could handle
