Back on the bikes again after having had 3 days off at Halls Gap.  As the ride was only 30 kms to Stawell, we took off at a decent hour in the morning for once - 9:00am!
Ange's Dad met us 3/4 of the way into town on his own bike with a very sweet sign saying "Welcome Otesha!"  After picking up Meg from the busstop (she left to go to a yoga retreat for a few days) we rode to John's house in the bush for a tour of his sustainable house and perma garden.  We were greeted with a huge feast of cheese, fruit, and nuts galore and so we spent a few moments stuffing our faces with few words spoken.  Once finished, John and his wife took us on a tour at their house and proceeded to explain the details of how the built it.  We were all amazed at the hard work they had done and the body of knowledge that they acquired to build such a fantastic house.  Well done to the two of them and thank you for opening your home up to us and allowing us to make ourselves at home from the afternoon.  It was hard to leave, but we finally gathered our things and made the final trip for the day to Ange's parents house.  They greeted us with open arms and put on an amazing lasagna dinner for use with accompanying winde and dessert - plus bday cake for Pip!  We stuffed ourselves silly for the second time that day and then proceeded to make our way to our individual beds with pillows!!  Very exciting!
