Sunday saw us waking a little tired - Why???

Our room was above the function room of the hotels and all the young folk seemed to be having skolling competitions as young men do. That was in between the band playing.

Looking out from the cafe that was once known as Diver Dan's is the new bridge that replaced the old "pick a board" bridge that was in the Sea Change TV series.

It adds to traffic flow but the charm is missing - that's progress.

Its winter so no ice cream today.

We decided that we would have breakfast at a local Barwon Heads cafe called "Barwon Orange". Sue had the poached egg and bacon on sour dough and I had the poached eggs with mushies on sour dough washed down with two cappucinos.

Leaving after breakfast we drove back to catch the ferry at Queenscliff - it really is a lovely place. Making it just in time we drove straight on to the ferry for the 10.00 am sailing and decided we would  enjoy a little time in Sorrento before visiting close friends that have retired on the Mornington Peninsula.

In a century previous paddle steamers took their passengers across the bay.

Here's some early history of those days - click for a larger view.

As we drew closer to our destination we saw how some of the privileged lived in their mansions.

A cup of tea and sticky bun over a couple of very enjoyable hours saw us hit the road for home to prepare for the week ahead.

How was weekend - tell us - we'd like to know.
