A Weekend at Roberts.

Me sitting on a rock at Glenbrook lagoon....

After a well deserved rest up in the fresh air of the Blue Mountains, I woke up refreshed and ready to go, unfortunately the night in the hotel room cost me $100 dollars because I couldn't find anything cheaper, that won't be happening again, I would rather sleep under a bridge than pay another $100 dollars for a bloody bed. Any way as they say in the movies Shit happens!

So back to my weekend, I woke up early as It is easier to get most of my riding in the morning before it gets to hot. I decided to go for a ride up the Great Western Highway to Katoomba, I wanted to take a look at the old House I lived in when I was there with Leesa. I stopped at Lawson and couldn't remember the street we lived in, so I rode up to Katoomba, It was a lovely fresh morning but not cold enough for warmer clothes so after a coffee I rode down the mountains to Cranebrook and Robs place. Boy it was hot there I remember it being hot when I lived in Penrith and Cranebrook is right next door, I swear it must have been nearly 35 degrees.

On arrival to Rob's place I unpacked the Spyder and slipped in to my Shorts Robert cooked me a BBQ lunch "steak sandwich" and we downed several large cans of Guinness...very refreshing, Rob has a salt water pool in the back yard so we dived into the pool and downed a few more cold cans to quench our thirsts. After Lunch rob took me to his local fishing hole and we did a spot of fishing, or should I say attempted to do a spot of fishing, Robert was the hero of the day and managed to catch an outstanding fish, he kissed it and threw it back which was probably the most sensible thing for him to do as the fish was not that big.

In the evening we chatted and I attempted to watch a movie called The Departed however I was feeling tired and couldn't concentrate, Maybe it was the Guinness that clouded my mind my guess was that it was the close to 400km I rode the day before.

The following Day we went for a bush walk to a lovely spot in Glenbrook we found a rock to sit on near the water hole and it was a very nice way to spend a morning, the water in the lagoon was a bit murky to swim in. After that we went back to robs and had another dip in his pool, hard work if you can get it. I must say I had a very laid back and enjoyable couple of days. I love riding however it was nice to chill out with great company for a couple of days... Thanks to Rob and Tianne for their hospitality.
