Waking up at the Station
Creek rest area was different. I was either so exhausted I fell into a deep
sleep, or the rocking of the van lulled me all night.
After a quick (very basic)
breakfast, we were on the road again. According to google maps it was only
going to be a quick three and a half hour drive to Coffs Harbour.
Nothing! Especially after all of the driving we had just done.
Unfortunately, we got stopped
mid way on the highway for almost an hour, the fires were too close to pass
through some areas. Lucky, for us, being stopped on the highway with the van
attached meant I could just get out of the car, and go back and make us lunch.
We thought that we could not
go through Coffs without a stop at the Big Banana. Coffee for Justin, and
icecream for Jarvis and myself. Plus, we had to buy a fridge magnet for the
caravan.
From Coffs it was a short
drive to Sapphire Beach Caravan Part and Resort. Yup, this was the place! Holly
Molly I loved it. Right on the beach, lush green grass and garden, with a pool.
As soon as we set up the van, we decided that we were staying more than one
night.
What a difference, the night
before it was the roar of the traffic and smell of car fumes. To the roar of
the ocean, and that distinctive small of salty fresh air....
