Apollo Bay for the 3rd day: It is cloudy again this morning. Sometimes it feels like the rain just follows us in Australia. We grilled some chicken that we bought at the butcher shop yesterday on the community barbeque. It was good and we knew what we were eating for a change. Kathy likes to eat out all the time no matter how bad the food is or how unhealthy it is, I am hoping I can get through to her about that on this trip - one can always hope.
We hiked a short trail loop in the Otway National Forest yesterday. The route was short but spectacular and the quality of the trail was first class. Metal gratings you walked on suspended above the surface insured that the ground was protected from disturbance. Tall ferns flanked much of the route along with huge eucalyptus trees.
When we came back we grilled the chicken and had a drink about 3:30 then it was nap time. I woke up a couple of hours later groggy I guess I had more wine than I thought. Kathy was still sleeping so I put on my jacket and walked a block to the commercial strip on the coastal highway. The restaurants were doing a pretty good business. I figure most of the people were locals in from farms and weekly jobs for a nice dinner. They were drinking wine rather than beer which seemed surprising for this part of the world. All of the shops and many of the smaller restaurants were closed, this is not Vegas or even a normal city in the US.
