Barham to Swan Hill

...I ended up reading two books in Barham, which I count as a new personal reading reckord! But there is a reason: the oral antibiotics I got given for my infected leg didnt do the job, so I had to go to hospital to get intraveneuse (dont know about the spelling...) treatment. I must say I actually quite enjoied the 5 days at the hospital, where I got fed like a turkey before xmas and had a warm bed and free accommodation! The lovely staff looked after their only patient so well, that I was sad to leave once my leg was better! Another hand full nights I spent at the Barham Hotel, which I can recomend to anyone!(next time I stay I make sure Im not on medis, so I can actually make use of the Pub downstairs, too! The meals are excellent tho!)Thank you very much Kent and staff and owners of the Caravan Park, you all helped me out a lot! After I spent long enough in Barham for every local to recocnise me on the streets, I kept on baddling one sunny day... Two hours before I got to Swan Hill, a gail force rain storm hit me face on, and for a moment I wasnt sure wether Im more scared or delighted about the sudden change of the elements after all this nice weather paddling. I decided for the change and yelled at the storm to bring it on!
