Not quite such a lazy start to the day today as we had to pack up and head home. We'd done a bit of packing last night.
Had to give the patio and outdoor table a good sweep and clean, because the lorikeets had made an awful mess with breadcrumbs.
Finally packed and ready about 10:30. Went to give the key back, and to say goodbye to Cherie the Owner /Manager. Bought two Beach Cabin coffee mugs as a memento of our stay.
Stopped at Pambula Market on our way though, and bought a ceramic pelican - very elegant. About 9" tall. Also had a plate of Dutch Pancakes.
Stopped at the little cafe (called "The Big Bite" I think) on the wharf at Eden for lunch. I had Nachos, without Salsa, and Bill had Fish and Chips.
I slept much of the way home, well until Cann River anyway. It made it seem like a very quick trip. We arrived home about 3:30 and unpacked the car. Well, Bill did. I checked my emails!
It was an enjoyable few days away, and the weather was kind to us after the first day.
Pity the kangaroo wasn't kind to us on our way home from the Swanny pub where we went for a belated birthday dinner with Mum and Jim and Susan and Marty. A great big ding in the rear passenger door where he banged into us! As I said to Bill, it could have been worse.

Final Full Day
The weather was very nice again today. Another fairly lazy start to the day. We went back to the Boardwalk to look at a lovely pair of leather gloves I saw in a shop window last night. They would have been over $30 (at half price) but they were really nice. They were even a size large - unfortunately the lymphodema in my right hand meant I couldn't get that one one so I had to leave them. We tried in another couple of shops, including Rockman's where Bill convinced me to buy an owl pendant and a purple and silver pendant and earrings, eventually ending up at Swannie's where I got a nice soft pair of men's gloves, and Bill bought a pair of circulation socks and a wool jumper. Walked back down to the street and I bought a lemon gelato - the worst I've ever had. it was sticky and gooey, like toffee in parts, almost as if it had melted and refrozen, or the gelatin hadn't dissolved properly or something. I probably shouldn't have bought it as it all looked a bit odd in the tubs. At $4.30 for a small single scoop it hurt to throw half of it away!
Then we had a look at the bait and tackle shop but Bill resisted the temptation to buy anything.
We then headed off to the Merimbula Wharf and Aquarium to have lunch. I had a nice Prawn and Avocado Salad, Bill had a Wharf Burger.
Went back to the cabin for a bit of a rest. Went back to the RSL for dinner. We both had the lamb roast. Quite nice.
