9,10&11/2/17 Drive to end the loop

  9/2/17


  Left Sale today , heading up the coast back into NSW , stopping for the night at Boydtown - just short of Eden on Twofold Bay .
  The drive was a bit on the warm side , temps reaching 38 degrees along the way . Last time we came this way would have been 14 years ago , so memories of the road have long faded . It's quite hilly after you leave Lakes Entrance , and only gets worse the closer you get to Eden - at least for towing trailers etc . Fortunately the traffic was light and there were overtaking lanes at regular intervals .
 Arrived at Boydtown around 2pm , set up and headed straight to the pool for an enjoyable swim .
Later we wandered down to the beach as the sun was going down , first photo is looking back towards Eden across the bay .


Next is a section of Boydtown Beach & headland .


 These cliffs are between us & Eden .






10/2/17


  Up the road a bit further today , only to Narooma , only 130 klms away . I think that there's about 65 klms of uphill and 65 of downhill - there's nothing that resembles flat ground at all !!!
  As it turns out , we have completed the loop back to NSW !! We stayed here in Feb 2105 , I know , you're thinking hang on a minute they've been back already - yes that's true , but we went down to Victoria before coming back here .
 So after setting up again , it was into town to get some fuel and book in for golf tomorrow . That done , it was back to the van and hit the pool . Temperatures today went from 21 overnight to 39 , but when we arrived it was only 27 - Narooma seems to have it's own little climate - definitely cooler than the rest of the state at the moment .


11/2/17


 Up early this morning , golf was at 7:24 , so we're up at 6am !! Still with some low cloud / fog around - it came in yesterday afternoon and stayed . Temperature was 21 degrees and very humid , that didn't change , the temperature only got to 25 degrees today and that was 1pm .
  Back to the golf , last time I played here ( 2years ago ) I had a great game so memories of that were good . For the golfers amongst us , today was a par event - not many peoples favourite game - but I had plus 4 on the front nine and minus 1 on the back nine , to give me a plus 3 for the day , which is 3 better than my handicap , which is quite acceptable !!
  The cloud disappeared for an hour around lunchtime , then clouded back over again , before giving us a little rain , and I do mean little !!
  A walk along the beach this afternoon was good , a bit cool , but still good .
And that's it , you're up to date , here's a amp link :- https://drive.google.com/open?id=106GgoWcjBeoWl4KTxu4eLKEVUWQ&usp=sharing
