Bicheno and onto Coles Bay.....


While on the boat the couple sitting next to us had kept talking about Elephant pass and the great pancake place on it and on our journeys yesterday we found the signs for Elephant pass and the Elephant Pancake Cafe. So as it just happened we ran out of milk last night so we just had to get up early pack up and head up Elephant pass to check out this cafe. For anyone who loves very windy roads or anyone who is into motorbike riding you will LOVE this road. There is not alot to be seen for views but it was a fantastic piece of road to drive even with the trailer attached. The pancakes also were great and we would recommend this as a must stop place to anyone going near to Bicheno.
From there we push on into Bicheno and had a little look around visited the blow hole and then set off to find camp at Coles Bay. We found the Big 4 park with no worries and set the camper up on grass and then went to find the local supermarket only to find out that the nearest big supermarket was back in Bicheno so back we went. After shopping we had lunch at the cafe fuelled up made our way back again to Coles Bay.
We spent the afternoon seeing sights in Freycine National park, next visit we will be giving the van park a miss not due to it being not great but there are 2 other local national park sections we could have camped in that surprisingly are not packed out. We did the light house walk and though we wanted to do the Wine glass bay walk we had to give it a miss today as time was pushing and we had to get things done back at camp.
Its now after 8pm and the sun is still high in the sky we have had dinner and james is off playing with his remote control car and I can hear my book calling.

Us2martins refreshed and restocked in Tassie.
