Surprise Visit

The Great Victorian Bike Ride got into our city since yesterday, and they are staying till Thursday, about four thousands cyclists came.  It is perfect for the town, and of course, it is suitable for the people who are in it, they gain fitness, experience and they can see different cities and beautiful scenery.
We received a note from a friend -Terry, he told us that he is in it and he wishes to see us.  Today we are free enough to have friends around even though only for a short while.

He came, and we had a good catch up, we have not seen him for thirty-eight years ago.  He looks well, and I am surprised that for someone who is sixty-seven years old is still able to go on the bike ride, and it is tough going.  Apparently, he loves doing it, and this is his third time.  Good on you Terry.

Morning Tea with Terry.


It was not really a surprise, because he did send us a note, only we are not sure when he will come to our house.  He enjoyed his visit, and we were glad to see him again.

Tomorrow morning he and his fellow riders are heading to Yarragon, it is not far really from Traralgon, but they have to pass through different routes which are very hilly.  Anyway, all the best to you all and have good fun.

I saw them at a place in the camp and heard over the news about the Great Victorian Bike Ride, how much the organisation involves, it is fantastic.  They are such amazing people, people who love sports and people who like people.

Another happy couple that we know, they live in Aachen Germany, Gerhard and Corry,  They love travelling, but the one that never stops to amaze me is that they walked from France to Spain (Santiago De Compostella). We found out more about it when we visited them this year,  they did not do it only once but at least three times in consecutive years, and he is in his seventies and her in her late sixties, unbelievable!  Indeed I am happy for them that they are healthy and fit, I am not envious as I could say that we play table tennis twice a week to keep us fit and healthy.

It has been a great midweek, I do hope you have too.



Until Next Post
