We check out of the Mantra in Lorne, largely unwashed as neither of us have managed to work out how to drive the electronic gizmo powering the hot water. The $6.50 charge for two hours of internet has also rankled, especially when we find it for free in the burger joint across the road. It is a serious dent in my booking record.
However, the room has been comfortable and location good
.
We slowly wind our way across the Bellarine Peninsula to Point Lonsdale for a night. The afternoon is spent walking through Queenscliff and I locate one (and only one) pelican for Catharine, cementing my legendary tour guide status even further!
We shop a little. We sip cool drinks.
We spend a couple of very pleasant hours catching up with fellow glass artisan David and his wife Karen before a delightful dinner at Queenscliff's Shelter Shed.
"Have the beef satay" says the owner/chef.
"I've only got the gado gado on there for the vegetarians. All vegetables. The beef's so much better!"
And it is.
A seriously low key day.
