Pit stop at Coffs Harbour!

Gday,

Well were here in Coffs Harbour... We left Port Macquarie yesterday afternoon at 1.30 and we got here at 4.30....

They say that your best laid plans are meant to change... Tony (the guy who owned the hostel in Port Macquarie) asked us where we were staying next.... When we said Barricuda Backpackers... he said...

"ah no mate you don't wanna do that"...

To cut a long story short he had heard some horror stories about a guy who worked there... he didn't elaborate too much, but it didn't take too much imagination to work out what he was going on about"..

Anyways, with Lee not too keen on staying there and Lucy definately not going to stay there, we made some calls and got a room at the YHA in Coffs...

To say we've landed at the 5 star of hostels is an understatement... Double Room with an Ensuite and a small tv..... oooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Sounds sad but you definately appreciate things when you've been without them for a week (putting on your hiking gear to go for a pee in the night isn't much fun!!!)...

We headed out for an explore.. and found a nice little cafe to get some food last night called Hog's Breath... Just chilled out the rest of the night....

The alarm went at 4.30AM this morning as Lee had set it to get up and watch the footy.. (KNOB!!)...

After the footy had finished back to sleep and got up at 10am had shower and brekky then went for a walk to the harbour....

Not much there lots of water and yachts!!!! but we had a walk along the sea shore and at the end was a big hill and yes there was a footpath so Lee being Lee sauid lets walk to the top it wasnt that high but still bad enough... we walked up it and the views from the top were fantastic and walking down was fun it was more like running.....

After that we felt hungry so decided to walk back to the hostels and got a sandwich at the supermarket... at a local shop we found a poster about a dolphin and seal life centre somwhere near by so we ask at the hostel reception desk were able to buy tickets there and find out where it was which wasnt far at all...

walked there just in time for the afternoon show at 1pm it was great fun really pleased we caught the show... we have photos which we will get on the blog soon....

we then headed back to hostel for something else to eat and then went to an internet cafe to post on the blog and here we are !!!!


Lots of love
Lucy and Lee
