Day 5 Feb 28th Armidale to Grafton via Grafton Road

Today was the penultimate day of the ride a fantastic ride on the Spyder. I set out from the lovely town of Armidale towards Grafton via the town of Dorrigo.

On the way out of Armidale I came across a Sunday market in the town center. Lots of handicrafts and street performers were there and the whole atmoshere was jolly and bright under the morning sun and blue skies.

There was a cafe in Dorrigo (Juan’s Cafe) themed as the world’s smallest motorcycle museum (perhaps to attract more customers and curiosity, since it worked to lure me in!).

The road from Dorrigo to Grafton via the Grafton Armidale road was pure delight too, however I felt I did a massive back workout after handling all those curves on the Spyder, but it was good fun!

There were lots of deers just behind my cabin in a Armidale holiday park.

I spotted a Google Maps car with their huge high tech camera contraption on the roof. Finally i spotted one of them after using the excellent Google Map’s street view for a long time now.
