I didn't mention in previous blog but it wasn't just a beautiful morning it was hot, damn'd hot ! 28 degrees at 8:00am, 32 by 9:00.
Luckily, and quite by chance, we had planned a seriously short journey today. A new PB for this trip 35 kilometres park to park! with no stops along the way :-) We actually managed to check in before 10:00am, for one night at Park Beach Van Park - Coffs Harbour .

While the swimming shorts are a great loss, everyone in the near vicinity and probably quite a ways beyond will be quite relieved that my BMC Software speedo's ( a remnant of my brief but illustrious triathlon career) are finally Missing In Action.
Back to the story - we walked into town, not Coffs Harbour CBD but Coffs Harbour Marina, to buy a new pair of
Around tea time the weather closed in again and the rain set in for the night. Yet again we are lucky that it hasn't interfered with our day.
