Sat. 25 Jun. - Afternoon .... Motorcycle pick up ...

Saturday morning brief: breakfast at hotel (not bad, but not as good as the Residence Inn) then walk down to marietta square again, where the raods are still closed off and there's a Farmers market and Craft market
.

We stopped for a drink in the Australian Bakery Cafe, and were tempted by their vast array of oies (even Cornish pastiies!) but we just wern't hungry so left it at just a drink.

I called the hotel to send the shittle bus down to pick us up, and withinn the few minutes it took to arrive there was about another 10 people wanting it to take them back.

at 3 the wholw tour group met up in the bar at the hotel for a 1/2 hour briefing by the tour leader, then we were bussed to the Easyrider branch to pick up the rental bikes.

Much of the paperwork had already been completed in advance so we had anothergroup  briefingbny the 2 Eaglerider guys, and then went downstairs to collect the bikes and take the short ride back to the hotel.
