Thursday 13 October

Thursday 13 October A sleep in, just making the buffet breakfast at 9.57am.

We eventually headed out in what unfortunately was a colder overcast day compared to yesterday. We had lunch in a pub (turkey roast) and met an 'interesting' couple from Towoomba. The husband was quite talkative and loved Melbourne. We visited the local castle, saw a dancing and archery performance by the castle performers and visited the in house museum. The dancers included some Japanese tourists which was very amusing.

The museum had an awesome model of the local landscape, and projected overlays of different topography. It was very cool.

After the castle we did the 6km walk around the lake. A nice walk past the rowing boats and sheds but we were glad to see the end.

Dinner at the same little restuarant as last night, a nice desert wine to finish for myself and Jen and then off to the Casino again. :)

After nearly losing my €50 stake, I got lucky again and won €24 which nearly covered dinner. I was tempted to go for the extra €6 to cover the bill totally, but have been in that position too many times to know it rarely ends well with the 'just one more' bet.

A nightcap of Stephen Fry and QI then sleep.
