Travelog post for: Strider

I had more excitement (as though meeting Alpina wasn't enough!)
Today is Melbourne Cup day, Australia's biggest horse race.
Nik put a small bet on for each of us, so we studied the horses very carefully. Alpina looked lovely wearing Flora's tail flowers.
We had a fancy picnic lunch, just like the ladies at the races do, then it was time for the race!
But, none of our horses did well. The winner was a horse named Efficient.
