Norfolk Home Page


Today we decided to do a drive on the leftish side of the Island, but first some lunch. So we headed into town and guess what?. No Boxing Day Sales going on here. Except for the cafes & supermarket all the other shops were closed. Well it is a public holiday after all. So Gai had a toasted ham & cheese sandwich while I had a BLT. The bread here is so nice. Absolutely delicious. So finally about 2.00PM we headed off.

We skirted the northern side of the Airport and headed to Puppys Point. From there it was onto Anson Bay and then to Duncombe Bay. Next to the Captain Cook Monument. Then a bit of back tracking back to the south west side of the Island down to Crystal Pool and finally past the Arches and back home. There are some places we went past that we will re-visit another day if we have the time. Still threes days left before we fly home. Chinese for tea tonight if the sign that says they are open really means that they are open. After all it is just a blackboard in the window !.

For tea tonight we had Chinese take away. The food was really lovely. Gai had BBQ Prawns and I had Singapore Noodles. Nothing left for a meal for the next day.
