Canberra trip-day 2 (Polkolbin)

Hi all

Apologies for the lack of photos yesterday - the "attachments" part of the blog template seems to have gone AWOL and I can't find it - sorry. it might re-appear with technical help in Canberra!

Perfect weather today. Ice was falling off the windows of the car as we set off for breakfast at 7.00. Magnificent breakfast - in the B&B style rather than usual motel - porrige, fruits, yoghurts, proper coffee - just beautifully done.

Tamworth was the first "stop" - really sorry you can't  see the photo of us in front of the Golden Guitar but that's a secret that will stay that way! Really easy driving today and took a wander around Muswellbrook after stoppping at a little place outside there which advertised "best coffee  outside Italy" (FALSE). Mus'brk looks pretty down at heal these days with dead town centre. Singleton on the other hand is looking very  prosperous and we enjoyed a good lunch at the bakery. Coffee (again) very ordinary.

New freeways confused the GPS around here so we were in a paddock and confusing the poor lady for a while but we eventually  arrived at the "Polkobin Village" where we are staying for the next two days. very pleasant and quiet and they have briefed us on the recommended wineries to visit (there are literally hundreds to choose from) and where to eat so we're  all prepared!

Looking forward to a couple of days taking in the wineries and cheese and chocolate places that seem to abound here. Tough.

cheers everybody
