Day 21: a day east of Melbourne

The road into Four Brothers Rocks

This day threatened to be another "lost" day. A day where my medical needs superseded any holiday fun we might have. We packed up and drove to the radiologist in a nearby suburb, getting there an hour early on a cool, windy morning. Turns out that early was good. The appointment we'd booked online was for only one of scans I needed, but they were able to slot me in for the other as well and I was all finished before my original appointment time.

Then we needed to decide what to do with the rest of the day. David did some Googling and discovered Four Brothers Rocks in a nearby state park. He didn't realise the road there was not sealed, but we made it there anyway and enjoyed a short walk to a scenic spot.

Alas we were bother looking in the wrong place
in this photo and so look somewhat unhinged!

After that we drove to the home of former CAJ colleagues of David's who had kindly agreed to host us for the night. We enjoyed conversation and dinner with our feet under their very stable table, and use of their bathroom, but slept in our own bed. I still wasn't sleeping well, so keeping one thing constant seemed to be a good thing. It was refreshing to talk with folk who knew a lot about our Japan home and know many of the same people there.
