Our time spent chilling out and easing up on the exercise had left us feeling the need to work off some food, and make the most of the cooler temperatures here. So we decided to get up early and go for a run.
This seemed like a great idea the night before but its harder to pull yourself from a cosy bed come the next morning. Alas, we managed to get up and we even enjoyed our 5km round a river in Geelong, not the fastest we’ve gone but it’s not bad for nearly a month off.
A highlight of the trip was when we were joined by some dogs who seemed to enjoy the idea of fast paced people to say hello too, my feeling of becoming one with the pack was quickly diminished when we realised the dogs belonged to the man who was pelting along and overtook us, disappearing over the horizon in no time.
Our run with wolves (dogs) had certainly built up our appetite and so we stopped at the local shop for our brekkie supplies. Shopping when hungry is never a good idea and we ended up with a feast for breakfast!
We spent the rest of the morning catching up on journals and other creative pursuits, all in the best company!
In the afternoon Gary very kindly took us to Queenscliff, a lovely little seaside town where you can catch a ferry to Sorrento across the bay. We decided to stay on land but got to enjoy the views nonetheless.
Our wonderful guide; Gary, was able to provide us with fascinating facts about the area while we took in the 360 views.
As the rain started to come on a bit more and lunchtime approached, we decided to head a little more inland and explore the town.
Queenscliff is a really charming little time capsule, it’s great that they’ve kept so many of the original features and buildings.
We opted to shelter from the rain and dove into a local bakery.
After a lovely pastry lunch we wandered further round the town and into a local gallery. Salt Contemporary Art had a show on with other works available too, the space was lovely former drapery store.
Soon enough it was time to head back to Geelong, going a slightly different way passed some of the vineyards in the area. Just my cup of…wine!
We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening thoroughly enjoying relaxing by the fire and chatting away with the family. All round lovely day.
