Clare Valley

"Suddenly, just as I had consumed the last apple and drunk the last glass of wine, a terrible voice was heard at no great distance."

From the Flinders we proceeded down to Clare for a few nights before we start the trek home. The Clare Valley seems very green  after our trip to the centre. We hired bikes and did a 20Km ride on the Riesling trail on a fine but wintry day. All was going well till we stopped and tried a very nice Muscat after which we all felt like a nice little nap in front of the fire but we pushed on and had a very excellent lunch moment at a winery and tasted more fine Rieslings before cycling home. On the way we met some cyclists we had seen on the Stuart highway. They had ridden overland from France to Singapore then flown to Darwin and ridden from there. Suddenly my 20km with stops to try wine and eat lunch did not seem such an achievement.
