That night the wind and rain burst loose and we are lucky that we looked online so we were prepared with the awning in and the seats folded up under the bus. In the morning all the white sand has washed away and a lot of people had parts of their camp setup either washed or blown away.
The weather looks quite promising and although still windy, it seems a nice day.
We follow the road till the end along the north east coast and admire the wild ocean.
When the road ends, we leave Dotti at the bus and take a walk.
Then we decide to leave the coast and since we can’t go further north along the east coast without a 4WD, we go west. But not before buying a few oysters for Marjo.
Just before driving off, we see a small group of Taiwanese try to pry open their oysters with a knife. Before they chop off their own hands or lacerate their wrists, I show them how easy it can be with the oyster knife in the back of our bus. They marvel at that.
Twelve oysters later we continue the road east and stop at a bric a brac shop where I capture the surrounding nature and Marjo captures my heart by getting me Huon Pine after shave (or it could be a subtle message to say that I should take a shower soon).
Then we take the winding road along the beautiful hills. This seems to be a more rainforest type route.
We stop at a small waterfall along the route.
And Nossi sees something between the trees.
The surroundings are quite captivating.
And then we follow the road again.
We stop for a little walk along a Mirtle forest.
And then arrive at the Weldborough Historic Hotel where we park the bus behind the pub.
The gardens have a very interesting flower.
After setting up the ladies enjoy their oysters.
That evening we have dinner at the pub, with yummy deserts (Marjo warm sticky ginger pudding with caramel sauce and Axel warm apple crumble with ice cream) and even live music.
A great day.
