Began a three day tour of the South West today.  Started off at a winery, where I sampled a few nice reds before lunch.  We went to Castle Rock, where we trekked up to get a magnificent view, but unfortunately it was cloudy and very windy so we were freezing!  We stayed the night in a hostel in Albany, which provided us with free coffee and delicious home-made cake, plus a beer voucher for the local pub (which I used, despite having been hungover all day).

Saturday started off cold and overcast, so the thought of a swim later on did not appeal at all.  We visited Frenchmans Bay and saw the Natural Bridge and The Gap, as well as going to the Blowholes, but unfortunately they weren't blowing.  There were spectacular views though.  Luckily, by the time we reached Greens Pool the sun was shining and I joined a few others for a refreshing swim.
