Spyder ride to Lake Leake for lunch.

We had a lovely trip to Lake Leake for lunch at the pub.  The day was nice and sunny and we continued on to Bicheno, the Elephant Pass and Avoca before heading home.  We travelled 391 kms from home to home.  Great ride.

Lunch at Port Sorell

As it was a lovely sunny start to the day so we decided it was a good day for a trip back to Port Sorell.  We were there in June and stopped at a wonderful fish and chip shop thinking that it was time to revisit it for another feed.  Then calling into Squeaking Point for a look on the way home.  Lovely day.
