Portsea holiday

  Doortje and I had a wonderful few days away at Portsea in between chemo treatment and assorted appointments.  We left on Wednesday (4 May) after an appointment at the chemo day ward for maintenance on my PICC line, deliberately set at 8.30am so we could get away - finally left around 1pm because the line had to be unblocked.
  We stayed for 3 nights at the Grange Resort opposite the jetty at Portsea, went for a ferry ride to Queenscliff, a bike ride to Point Nepean, walked along the beachfront and jetty, and checked out the ocean beaches and Sorrento shops.  We twice ate at the Portsea pub, food passable, atmosphere okay.
  On the way home on Saturday we checked out the Briars at Mt Martha, a historic homestead and large grounds that includes wetlands and old gardens.
