Today we were on the road very early (by 8.00am) as we were happy to say "good bye" to the Garden Point Caravan & Cabin Park. As noted in a previous post, for the money paid, the accommodation was not worth what was paid!
Anyway, back on the road, we had to follow our trail back to Sorrell. Upon arriving we all needed a toilet break and decided the MacDonalds store to be the place to go. We also picked up some breakfast before heading off towards St Helens.
Mid morning we drove through Triabunna and stopped at the Visitor Information Centre at Spring Bay.
We enjoyed a chat with the hostess at the centre and picked up some more tourist brochures.
The weather was very bleak and overcast as we continued our drive through Swansea and onto Bicheno where we stopped to refuel.
We enjoyed driving so close to the ocean and watching the waves break onto the rocks as we got closer to St. Helens. We arrived around 1.00pm and booked into our accommodation. The accommodation was first class, and was the best we had experienced to date on our holiday.
We visited the lolly shop in the main street and stocked up on some Dutch licorice. We paid $2.95 for 200 grams. In Franskston's Bayside Shopping Centre a few days later a shop was selling 250 grams for $6.00!
We were looking to purchase some seafood for tea, but the place we were recommended to obtain seafood from had frozen prawns and no crayfish at all! We decided to give seafood a miss and instead bought some meat from the IGA store and had a BBQ for tea instead.
