Traveling up coast



March 31, 2008
We’re in Coff’s Harbor at the Pacific Bay Resort. This is by far the classiest of our accommodations. We have a one bedroom suite with a balcony overlooking a tropical planted courtyard. Yesterday was a full day of driving. We took a detour into Port Macquarie looking for lunch which we found at Mike’s Seafood. A young boy of it seemed 12 waited on us. He spoke so fast that I had to slow him down to understand a word he said. We split the special of the day: batter fried Hoki. Hoki is a deep sea fish with a sweet taste. It was great and the two fillets and fries that came with the meal fed the two of us to the brim! Bosco’s down with a cold and feeling less than great. He could dive here but he can’t clear his ears so that’s out of the question,. Disheartening to say the least. We drove into town last night and has prime rib at a place called the Hog’s Breath Café. It was great fun.

Enjoying your updates. What a trip! Hope Bosco starts feeling better. You are really seeing a lot.
Got the invitation for the class reunion. Sept 16-17th. Let me know if you can make it. Maybe we can be roommates again.

It's nice to see what retirement is like, I'm looking forward to it. The web address you gave me was bkaussietrip.blogspot.com. It wasn't until today that I found out it should be bksaussietrip with an "s" after bk, so I've read most of the trip today. Hope Bosco is better, I'm glad you are having a great time and in such beautiful country. Continue being safe both of you.
