Tuesday 16/2/2016 - Swan Hill

Rest Day 1406km

We experience the pleasures of life once more:
- A sit down toilet
- A shower
- A sleep in until 8am
- Egg and bacon roles - thanks EJ
- A leisurely morning not paddling
Does life get any better than this?

After breakfast we put on the washing whilst EJ goes to get his hip worked on. We are all eventually ready to walk  into town to meet EJ and get some very important jobs done. The 2km walk, as EJ estimated it, turns out to be about 6km, however we all enjoy the leg activity after sitting down so much over the last five days. EJ told us yesterday that he house was 1km down steam of Swan Hill, turned to be about 6km, so we know something new about EJ. 

The first important job is to find a bakery/coffee shop. A very nice start.  The second important job was to find KFC, the next important job is to find S supermarket to stock up on food, and lastly a Fish and Chip shop for the non KFC addicts. 

We return home for the afternoon massages, thanks to Tinky for organising, some sleep, boat maintenance and packing, and another BBQ dinner.  All of us have sore muscles so the massages are so good, the only problem is that it will hurt as we paddle tomorrow. 

It is cool and windy tonight so I am expecting a cool start to the day tomorrow. 

We have been working on our boat skills and yesterday EJ showed us what we can do.
