Coff's Harbour

February 4, 2009


Drove up the still unremarkable highway, which seemed to be in a complete state of chaos as they were expanding it or something. Detoured when possible into the “tourist” or scenic routes to catch occasional views of the coast and the odd kangaroo hopping across a farmers field. We did see a pod of dolphins playing off the coast and that was kinda neat.

Splurged that night because it was my Birthday! Hope Brenda mentioned it at Rotary and thanks for those thousands of emails from readers of the blog. (If you didn’t send yours its not too late.)

Spent the night at Coff’s Harbour at the Caribbean Motel. Air conditioning, Jacuzzi tub, a balcony overlooking the ocean and clean towels. Dinner at the Scoffe Seafood Restaurant across the street was great.

The maƮtre d' had a great dry wit and, having spent a career as a mechanical engineer repairing amusement park rides around the world, would have had a lot of interesting stories to tell if I had let him get a word in. I was charming though.
