A Day in Daylesford...

I figured I'd better post on this to give a more positive account of the day. Awhile back, one of the ladies at school recommended Daylesford as a nice getaway. She described it as a cute, quaint town in the bush with great food, shops, and spas (it's just screaming Mark isn't it?!). Since the forecast showed sunshine for Saturday, we decided that'd be a great time to check it out. So, Saturday morning, we hopped on a train and then a bus to Daylesford. It really is a cute, quaint town, that reminded me a lot of Red Lodge. We had lunch and I finally had a vanilla slice, one of the desserts found in all of the bakeries around here. Then we walked around the lake and Mark drank some mineral water (Daylesford is known for it's mineral springs). After spending some time in the sun near the lake, we walked through the town again, checked out the botanical gardens, stopped at another bakery, and then found a cool little place to sit and drink wine and beer. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day.

PS- Here's a picture from the hand dryer in the bathroom that I thought was pretty funny!
