Day 42: Mon 29 Jan – Shepparton

 25-37 degC 

After breakfast we rode into Shepparton to have a look around and to get some exercise before it became too hot.  We took the scenic route as we wanted to avoid the main roads and found a lovely path through the bush which led us to Victoria Lake and then into Shepparton itself.  We were looking for a Maccas to have morning tea at, but the only two are on the outskirts of town, one North and the other one on the South side.  So, we took a walk through the Mall and found a coffee shop that looked OK and ordered.  Coffee was cold, but the toasted fruit bread was not too bad. 

Next stop was SAM – Shepparton Art Museum.  Now, you don’t normally find Wendy in too many art galleries nor museums, however, this one was OK, and it was small.  Half an hour later we were looking for something else to do.  By this time, Greg’s worms were starting to bite, and were going to find one of those Maccas stores, but they were too far out, so we went home instead, this time on the main road and it wasn’t too bad.  The road had a nice big verge and we felt safe.  After lunch, Wendy had an LLD and Greg just relaxed with his book. 

Whilst Wendy fired up the computer and logged onto work, Greg went for another ride and was gone for hours. He had got a bit lost, sort of on purpose as he reckons you find the most interesting stuff be getting lost?! 

 Aircon went on not long after dinner and we relaxed inside for a while before undertaking the nightly routine and sleeping.

Reflections

This trip was varied and very interesting. Wendy had not been to many of the places in Victoria, so that was all very new and interesting, i...
