Thurs

Second day at Caribean Hotel, took drive to to Sawtell Beach where we had breakfast in town after wandering around we decided to head for the rainforest centre, it was lovely and we went onto Danger Falls after all the rain in the area there was plenty of water around another hot day, headed back for a late afternoon return. We had done a lot of walking today an decided to pop across and get fish and chips which we ate in our room and they were lovely, especially being washed down with a beer and glass of wine. Friday 25-3-11 Left fairly early after a freshly cooked breakfast at the motelmthis was run by a lovely couple. We headed off to Byron Bay which was packed, with scantily dressed people, camper vans and it seemed if you were over 20 you were too old to be there! It is a lovely place tho, old colonial buildings all down the main streets and the beach was lovely, we decided not to stay here and instead we headed off into the rain forest to a tiny village called Uki, on the edge of Mt Warning an defunct volcano, we phoned a place called Braeside B & B and our faithfull sst nav got us there around 2pm it is so beautiful here surrounded by peace and quiet and mountains, we are staying in a wooden cabin with all facilities, needs a bit of tlc but its okay, real nice couple who are looking to move as Keith husband is 74 and suffering from shingles!!! and its all too much for him how , whoever buys it will get a bargain and it could be made into a spectacular home, its a real oldy day homestead. Janice is a very clever lady who makes patchwork quilts etc paints does everything really showed me some gorgeous items she has made. After settling in showering etc we went into the village we are very high up, up a winding drive, so Im not driving down that thank you very much! 'We ate a pub meal in the only pub along with all the locals all pissed out of there heads and very talkative.l
