Rest Days a Margaret River

The rest days were spent - cycling- and eating and drinking. Monday - I toured the shops and then decided to head out to Prevelly Beach to watch the surfing competion. The waves were huge - 2.5-3 metres by my calc's looking at the surfers. Headed back home and picked up a bottle of Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and a few nuts and some gorgeous vine cherry tomatoes and ripe kiwi fruit. Only 25kms travelled today.
Up early on the Tuesday, and off to Lake Cave with my friend Anne - caught the 9.30 tour, although we had to run down lots of stairs to catch up with the rest of the tour. Lake Cave is small but beatiful. This formation is called the hanging table. Peddled on to Voyager Winerey - as Anne had not been there and then on to the Eagles Heritige which rehabilitates lots of birds of prey. Saw a great flying demo with five black kites (which are brown). On to Cape Mentelle winery for a taste, then back into town for a spot of browsing. We did not get dinner from the campsite tonight, instead we picked up a great green curry with rice and cheesecake desert swept down with a Cape Mentelle Georgiana. Someone has to do it.
Back on the bike tomorrow.
