The sun shone and we took it easy as this was our day of rest. We did a short walk down town to the supermarket and returned back to the motel for lunch and eventually dinner. We spent most of our time reading our books whilst listening to the sounds of nature.
This is a very relaxing place and the motel has great views and very spacious accommodation.
I forgot to mentioned yesterday two things, one is that on the way up the coast there were road signs warning you to watch out for penguins and the other was the habit of American and New Zealanders who live out in the wild to leave a car in the space in which it stops until it rusts away. We noticed many old cars by the side of the road with the tyres flat and covered in dirt and with grass several feet up the side of the vehicle. I assume and believe that the people who do this either have no money or just don’t care. We also saw quite a number of people living in 20 foot sea freight containers and also old, very old, buses and caravans. Not quite what we expected.
