Easter 2012–Day 2
An early start and we head to Macca’s for a quick breakfast.
We showed Brendan the Oyster farms growing along the Merimbula river
A few minutes later and we were in Eden, we went to the Killer Wale museum, but it didn’t open until 11, as it was only 8.30 we decided not to wait
We concluded that every second car going north, was towing a boat.too bad we didn’t bring ours down here we may have sold it.
We passed thru some pretty towns.stopped for lunch at a small town called Nicholson,it was on the river and quite nice
We made it to Sale (this was planned for the first night) at around 2.30, we stopped at the tourist info centre for some brochures etc., we continued on our way, the plan was to find a free stop, hmm none around, so we then phoned a few caravan parks.hmm all booked out for Easter, at this stage David was starting to get a bit testy, as he had said we should book our campsites due to it being the Easter Weekend and all!.We continued on our way to Foster, there was a free site west of there, unfortunately we got a bit lost but ended up finding it, but, when we got there, it was a look out & had a sign advising no camping. Ok , now what.we went back to the comfort inn motel we saw & asked if they had a room.by this time it is around 5pm, guess what.no all booked out..but the owner Lynn phoned around for me and found a room at the hotel/ motel in Fish Creek around 15 min drive.. Thank you.
We arrived at Fish Creek, and found the Hotel, you couldn’t really miss it, David wasn’t too impressed but I went in to pay. From the outside it doesn’t look much but the room was quite nice. We all had showers ( 1 night with out and we start to stress ) and made our way to the dinning room which was also quite attractive. The food was good but the plates were huge (not the meals, just the plates).. after about 2 hours we went back to the room. We were really surprised as it was lightly raining
It started pouring down and strong winds started blowing.I was so glad we weren’t in the camper trailer, it sounded bad enough in the motel room! This continued on and off, all night!
