We had started early from our overnight stay in The Entrance and enjoyed the peninsula drive past Tuggerah and ???? Lakes to Doyalson where we rejoined the highway north.
We gobbled up the miles rapidly and shortly after a driver change at ??? Tess took us onto the Bucketts Way which winds up and between the Gloucester Tops and the coast though Stroud, Gloucester and back to Nabiac. Very scenic but also potholed - due for repairs by 2015. Lots of bikes zooming along when not pausing for coffee at picturesque Stroud. We pulled up next to some horses and riders having an early beer outside the pub. The hamburgers at the cafe looked worth a re-visit.

Tess tried to delete this shot - said the tree was in the way. I said that was the whole point! Artistic differences could be the end of us:-(((
We had soon arrived at Port but new roads and whatever confused the GPS so Tess managed to navigate to our hotel. Lovely view over the marina towards town although a little shady for my liking in Winter. They are about to refurbish the place and a luggage lift would be appreciated by 2nd floor guests like ourselves. The room is spacious and has a great kitchen.
WiFi is limited so no photos yet. Tess wants a slow start tomorrow and I plan to watch bits of the movies tonight along with the TDF live. Till midnight anyway.

We will also be in Port, but next week, when you wage slaves are back slaving. Hoping to gain wisdom from your wins and losses in the location.
The bike group came along Bucketts on our last trip. Good fun.
