Day 4: Sat 20 Feb - Bargara

As it is a Saturday, we had planned to do a ride into the Bundaberg Barrel where they brew the Bundaberg Gingerbeer and other softdrinks. However, it was drizzling, so it was just Greg and Wendy. It was an easy 18km into town, but Wendy looked like a drowned rat when she arrived. The Gallery at the Barrel was informative but small and we were soon having our mid morning caffeine fix. The ride home was slightly faster mainly due to it being mostly downhill with a tailwind for most of the way.

We then had to wash the bike clothes as they were a tad dirty just to make sure the van washing machine still works; it does.

Lunch was had in the camp kitchen with the others. We then reitred to our house for a nap.

Dinner was back at the Bargara Beach Hotel with just G&Y this time as M&S had gone off into Bindaberg to have dinner with Sue's daughter; why try somewhere else when you know that what you order is likely to be good?








Day 3: Fri 19 Feb - Bargara

Whilst Wendy did a full day's work, Greg did what he likes doing best - riding his bike. He did a 42km ride before lunch then 16km after lunch.

We had dinner in the camp kitchen with Gunther, Yvonne, Mark and Sue. After dinner drinks were had at the Fischer's house.





Day 2: Thu 18 Feb - Bargara

We both did a pre-breakfast walk. We then met the others at the front gate to the caravan park at 8am for a ride to Burnett Heads, which was an easy ride with a half-cyclonic tail wind. The coffee shop at the Port of Bundaberg Marina did not open until 9am and we arrived at 8:30am, so we wandered for a bit then had coffee and rode home into a screaming headwind.
Wendy worked and Greg rode.
Lunch then a nap, then Greg rode some more.
Went to Bargara beach hotel for dinner and all meals were good. Walked there and back then met the others under the tree for a post dinner drink/tea
