Long Weekend at Bruny Island

We gave ourselves a long weekend away to Bruny Island.  It's a lovely quiet spot with lots amazing views of the sea and countryside and amazingly delicious food.  We had a lovely relaxing time away.  We travelled on our new Spyder, and had an awesome time, the weather on the whole was great except for the day to travel home and we got a bit wet.  But it's only water.

We had an early start and left home about 8.00am

Bridport for fish and chips

We had a little bit of spare time yesterday, so we went for a lovely ride on our Spyder to Bridport for fish and chips for lunch.  Also, I wanted to find out if I could take some photos riding as pillion passenger, so I don't have to ask Richard to slow down or stop along the way.  I think I did pretty good.
