The rain has settled in, but in a sporadic way. Heavy showers are interspersed with dry spells where the heat of the day converts the wet-weather gear into a mini-sauna. Consequently I'm wet both inside and outside.
My first stop for the day was at the Peacock Hill Winery. It was a good excuse to get out of the rain for a while, but I decided to taste a few wines (very small tastes only) and soon discovered that they produce a very enjoyable fortified wine. I took a chance and purchased a bottle which was very carefully packed in the top-box for the journey to the Central Coast.
After stopping for lunch at the Hunter Valley Winery Information Centre, I headed towards Newcastle so I could take the 'scenic' route down the Pacific Highway and Central Coast Highway. There is no doubt that this would have been a good idea in fine weather, but with the rain and low clouds the trip was reduced to simply surviving to the end.
Eventually I reached the Central Coast where I'll stay with a good friend for a couple of nights.
