Last night we stopped at Emerald Beach Pizza & Pasta.

We have been dreaming about their mac and cheese, for the past year, but we couldn’t stop on our way north last week. We mentioned how far we’d traveled for this culinary delight, but the staff just looked at us as if we were crazy (which is possible). We brought it back to our accommodation near Coffs Harbour, unwrapped it from the foil container, only to discover that it wasn’t really full. Sometimes it’s best not to meet your heros.

Prior to that, we had a short walk on Emerald Beach. A couple of years ago, we were planning on moving somewhere near here, but we ended up in Emerald Victoria instead. Both Emeralds are green and filled with kangaroos. We opted for the one with lower humidity.

Our accommodation was an Airbnb apartment at Pacific Bay Resort. Well appointed by the owner. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool.

This morning, we stopped at The Clog Barn, on our way out of Coffs Harbour. I’m not sure how much of your shopping list, Helen, will make it all the way back to Victoria.

Charging:

No EV chargers at Pacific Bay Resort, which was surprising. There are several Tesla Superchargers in Coffs Harbour, but since we didn’t need to stop at the shopping center, we’ll just charge when we next stop anyway, such as for lunch. Only charge while you’re parked for some other reason.
