Day 19 – Merimbula and surrounds

What better way to start the day than to have a cuppa sitting out on the deck overlooking Merimbula Lake? It was a little overcast today but very pleasant with a top of about 24 degrees. After a couple of loads of washing were hung out, Gaz and I took off to explore.

We started by finding Mitchies Jetty where Gaz had a coffee. It was very windy and a little cool so we decided to walk to the causeway and back. Good to get the steps up and such beautiful scenery.

 



We then took another drive to the other side of the lake where we first explored Bar Beach then Short Point and Middle Beach. Everything looked spectacular.

 




Back home for some Turkish toasties for lunch and we rested a bit after our morning exertions. I decided I needed to check out the shops, so we drove the short distance there and after some wandering, I finally scratched my retail therapy itch and bought a couple of new tops. Gaz also grabbed a new t-shirt which was a major bargain. We then travelled back to Bar Beach where we walked on a boardwalk back towards town giving us fabulous views from a height and through some trees – spectacular!




 

Our final scenic viewing for the day was at Fishing Wharf on Long Point where we watched the fishermen for a while and checked out the stunning rock formations before heading back home for wine o’clock and to get ready to head out for dinner.

 




After much deliberation we ended up having dinner at the Sapphire Club where we had some very nice meals. Back home and it was Euchre – Maz/Kev v Gaz/Pen and 1-1 was the result. Only half of the movie was consumed last night so we were back on the Orient Express … and then … bed.
