We are singing in the rain… on Valentine’s Day

Day 10: Moss Vale, NSW
Distance cycled: 24km

Robertson, the town of the big potato, is a small town with population just above 1,000 people. Yesterday, we were checked into the Robertson Country Motel. The room is decorated with a personal touch. We liked it. It was also nice to stay dry once in a while and not thinking about how our tent will hold up to the forces of nature.

We wanted to keep our family updated of our wellbeing. Unfortunately, the credit in both our mobile phones accounts was empty and there were no wireless broadband reception. We hope they are not worried. Happy Chinese New Year, the Ds (Dan & Dad)! Happy Fasching for the Austrian families and friends!

As usual, 5 minutes before the alarm buzzed off, there was a downpour (seriously!). There goes the thought of going for a walk to check out this charming little town. We savoured every minute we had until check-out time at 10am when we had to brave the wet weather again.

It was a smooth and mostly flat ride. The symphony of nature orchestrated by frogs, birds and sometimes cows cheered us on. In 1.5 hours, we arrived in Moss Vale. The thought of retreating to a cabin instead of a tent was very tempting. No chance. All cabins in the caravan park were fully booked. We were told that there is a music festival this weekend (we later found out it was Rob Thomas!) and about 8,000 people will be attending. That might explain the $4 ‘surcharge’ we unexpectedly had to pay despite the price listed on their website checked only a few days ago. Well, at least there is a camp kitchen undercover. Lukas had his fair share of steak and potatoes for lunch.
