Day 29 Salt Creek to Robe 130 kms

Annie's birthday! We woke today to a nice morning with some cloud but it doesn't look like rain. We had the briefing this morning and all wished Annie a happy 45 th birthday. I did threaten that I would wake her in the morning by jumping on her in the tent. I unzipped her tent but she was ready for me and it's a while since I have had to climb into a tent. So she missed out.
The ride started off with good winds and cloud cover but after morning tea the heavens opened again. It was such a shame as the scenery is so special in this area but it's difficult to get excited when you are cold and wet. Then after lunch the weather changed again with the clouds disappearing and the sun coming out. Perfect finish for the ride into Robe.
We took Annie and Peter out, for her birthday and Pete's prize for the photo competition. We went to the pub and the meal was pretty good but the dessert was magic. The pub's decor was typical English pub and an open fire. Nice night.
