ABSTRACT

Port Fairy is magical. Here at the confluence of the South Pacific and Indian oceans I can breathe. Everywhere I want to go is an easy walk from our historic hotel, a Comfort Inn 
!
, newly refurbished with faux marble and stainless steel. No mold or mildew. Ernest props his ailing foot on a garden stool outside our room while I strike off on my own, relishing my independence.
