Ok..now this was yesterday and I was too tired last night to write it. And right now I am already in Surfers Paradise and my notes are in the car so I just have to try and remember it.
Left Taree at about 8am. And drove along til we got to Port Macquarie. Beautiful place.
We got out of the car and took some pics by the ocean. I really liked it there. We drove into the town (by accident – don’t ask) and I saw a bit of that. And then we drove off and got to a town called Fredericktown (I think) and stopped at a place called Fredos Pies where we decided to have brekkie. Had the yummiest Sheppard pie! And got a fantastic pic of mum posing with Marilyn Munroe...
The next stop was Coffs Harbour. B E A Utiful! Loved it! We got out of the car and went for a nice walk along the foreshore. They had speed humps there, which I jokingly said were for wheelchairs, so mum drove me over some.
They had Whale watching tours there from $20. Bloody cheap, but we decided that maybe you don’t actually get to see a whale. Maybe they just have a cardboard one that they wave across the front of the ship...LOL!
Saw the Big Banana at Coffs, didn’t go in though. Anyone would think we were in a huge hurry.
So off we went. Drove further north. Got to some cane fields. I had never seen sugar cane (except on the telly). There was heaps of it. Lots of roadworks along the way too. Couldn’t believe e it all. 38k of it at one stage.
Then we finally got to Ballina at about 2.30pm I think. Found a hotel and then went into town. Had a look around the shops. Finally got a stubby holder. I wanted to collect one from each town we stayed at but couldn’t find one for Taree. So got one with Ballina on it. Then went into the cheap shop next door and found an even nicer one that was cheaper, but too late.
Bought some birthday cards for the girls in Tassie. Then went down to the jetty. Was nice there. But the tide was almost out. So we decided we would go back this morning. Then back to the hotel. Had a bbq tea then piked it. I think I was asleep by 830pm!!! And for those of you who know me know that that is blooooody early for me. I’m normally a 2-3am person. Very rarely before midnight anyway.
So that was day 2.
