Day 2 | Jindabyne to Echuca

On Tuesday morning, we set off from Jindabyne to enjoy Alpine Way. This is the main road that goes through the Snowy Mountains (I think). It is very windy with nice, rolling twists and turns up and down the mountains. As the last of the winds were dying down from the previous day, I still had to battle 70 km/hr winds at the start of the day.

We stopped at Khancoban around 12:30pm for lunch. That's when we realised that it was still another 5 hrs until we reached Echuca.

The rest of the trip was along the Murray Valley Road, which - compared to the freeway - was a more scenic route to Echuca. The road was still quite straight and made for some tedious riding at times. By this time my knees had decided they'd had enough so were stiff and sore to keep in the same position. A couple of short 10 minute stops ensured that the gammy knees could somewhat function by the end of 5 hrs.

Noel and his family warmly welcomed us with a good ol' fashioned BBQ. His wife had made amazing meringues for dessert. They were a self proclaimed madhouse and with 4 out of 6 daughters home for dinner, why wouldn't you be? One of the girls was getting married on the upcoming Saturday, so I felt it was a sisterly bonding session as well.
