A lazy day…

On Thursday we had a free day without having to move to a new accommodation. We looked at different options of things to do in Canberra, but decided since it was so nice, we’d like to stay outdoors.

We saw a place on line that appeared to rent paddle boats and headed there. Unfortunately they were closed so we ended up driving around the lake and finding a nice park by the water. We were able to find a bench in the shade so we stopped and just sat outside reading. It was a nice relaxing afternoon.

We saw three people on what appeared to be sail boards but turned out to be hydro foils that rose up out of the water. With a good wind they could really move!

Friday morning we headed back south to Bateman’s Bay and a coastal walk.

We had a stop in this little town where I browsed at their quilt shop. We also visited the local bakery for a cinnamon roll and more coffee.

We had another view of the Nelligen River.
Finally out to the coast and a beautiful view?

It was a lovely drive down the coast for most of the day.

Our lunch view.

There was also a campground where we ate lunch. Their trailers generally are much much smaller than ours. We have seen some smaller motor homes and a couple of fifth wheels.

Note the pop up on this camper!

We arrived in Eden at our motel for the night and after checking in decided to take a drive through this coastal town.

Interesting colours in and around the water.

We finished our drive at a lookout where I captured a picture of this tree. We’ve seen lots of them and I wondered what they were.

Mānuka Tree. Best known for honey produced by bees pollinating the white flowers from the blooms.

We were gifted a small jar of this honey before leaving New Zealand. It has a different flavour than what we buy at home.

Tomorrow we’ll travel a lot of inland roads as there aren’t any along the coast.

Having retired, we are enjoying travelling with our fifth wheel RV. We are from a small town in Southern Ontario.
