June 23rd

Up and out of the Wollongbar Motel to walk into town to eat breakfast. We stop at a place called The Bayleaf. Very busy and good food...we all just needed our long blacks, cappuccinos and flat whites! Now we are awake...

The plan for today is to walk back to the motel, but pop into shops along the way, then drive to Bangalow. It's Sunday so few shops are open, however the one Colette and I popped into had some really great clothes. Tee shirts for a mere $99, which is not far off from the norm here. Cute dresses, skirts, pants and jackets...if only we had the time to try on and if only our menfolk made more money! Lol

Packed up and on the road. Bangalow is a cute little town and the market was on. This market is more arts and crafts, than food. Many interesting characters around. Stood and watched an extremely talented busker who had at least 3 instruments playing at a time. He did stop playing one in order to pick up his juggling....I don't know how he did it, but it was fun to watch and the kids loved to dance around him.

After the market we walked the Main Street and stopped for a citron tart and coffee at Choux Choux Cafe. Colette and I also went into a French inspired store, but the prices were just too much..

Back in the car for a drive to Nimbin. This little town is a true hippie hang out, so you know how we stuck out like a sore thumb!! Everything about us was wrong! Lol. We walked the Main Street and because it was getting late, had a bowl of pea and ham soup at the Rainbow Cafe before we left. I'll be honest and tell you that I was approached three times about buying some good "bush" pot....what an experience!!
