Apollo Bay

Another Apollo Bay Great Ocean Road Marathon / Running weekend has come and gone and whilst running isn't my thing it's great to get away kick back and relax with some good food and good wine.

This year saw Rob run the 14km on Saturday and Mak take on the half marathon on Sunday (actually 23km's as the cruel organisers make you run a extra couple so it finishes in the town centre!)

Headed down on Friday (Rob and myself in one car, with Deb, Ann & Seb coming down in the arvo and Ros & Mak coming down that night) with a stop at the Winchelsea Bakery only to be confronted by a small sign stating 'No Pies'. A country bakery with NO PIES! Not a good start to the weekend, upon arrival at Apollo Bay Rob and myself were looking forward to a round of golf but the weather gods had other ides so we were resigned to a coffee in the main drag before getting the keys and heading to our accommodation.

Once we got in we set the fire cranking and settled in for the arvo as the weather kept rolling on in.

Lucky for the runners the weather cleared up a bit on Saturday and Sunday. My duties as support crew - Saturday night steak night and Sunday morning bacon and egg fry up along with maintaining the fire.

A good weekend and Seb as always loves extra people around to play with and entertain.



Sebastian found it quite amusing to wave to us all through the window.


The golf sticks hardly left Seb's side for the entire weekend

Smelling the flowers


Cheeky boys
