I woke up with an aching body and got real cold at night. I think this was a fever and flu hitting.
I had a look at accommodation options in Mansfield and found a backpackers . With any luck I could grab the bottom bunk .
First stop was Foggs Lookout over Eildon Lake / Dam. There is a lot of camping available along the banks and several lookouts.
The drive through the Goulburn River Valley was beautiful, green, lush, old farm buildings everywhere !
But as the day progressed I felt worse and worse …and the last hours worth of driving felt terrible.
When checking into the backpackers I was greeted by the great news that I’d have the room to myself…which for $50 …was indeed great !! I tried to have an afternoon nap but couldn’t fall asleep.
So I took a very slow walk around the town.
Again I must have had a fever as I couldn’t get warm in my room, even with heater going. Eventually did get to sleep but still felt crap the next day. So I decided to extend my stay and take it easy.
I did a short driver to Howqa Valley but then turned around half way as I was just drained of energy … just form driving.
Just had a lie in that afternoon.
