Yesterday the drive from Sydney to Karuah was another long one. Not much to see and once again, we encountered some pretty shabby accommodation on route and of course, at premium pricing. After checking out numerous digs, we ended up travelling off the beaten track to the small town of Karuah and stayed at the Karuah Motor Inn, an older but updated unit. The place was spotless, the price was reasonable and the service great! Over the past two weeks, I have been tempted on more than one occasion to call our good friend Nancy at Trilogy to see what's available for April & May, but then Leslie sets me straight and puts me in my place. It's a good thing because we always seem to score another great experience to counter the not so great.
I firmly believe our luck has changed now that we have reached beach country along the East Coast. Our first stop was Port Macquarie and we are booked into the Beachport B & B for the next 4 days. It is a great little spot run by Paul & Tricia. Paul is a real character and upon our arrival, he informed us that he just got back from buying a new LARGE flat screen TV after reading my blog on the Guest House. For those that have seen our TV, this should provide you a good laugh!! Rained a bit this afternoon, story of our lives. If hotel/motel owners keep reading my blogs they may start banning us. The media keeps promising us the weather is changing for the better but we will believe it when we see it. Paul tells us that Shelly Beach is comprable to any of the top beaches in Australia. You can even ride camels on the beach if you so desire. Sounds like fun, maybe Leslie will give it a go!
