After leaving Surfers Paradise, I wanted to see Byron Bay and the Cape Byron lighthouse. The weather was still quite windy and rainy but we were able to see the lighthouse, the surfers and the town itself. We were in Byron Bay for only a brief time but it felt immediately better than Airlie Beach. Of course Airlie Beach had the Reef but that's it. I would rather spend my holiday in Byron Bay, if the weather was any better. Now we just moved on. We planned to take the Watefall Road to New England Highway but it was impossible to find a motel with vacancies late at night. Eventually we drove from Byron Bay to Newcastle. Much further south than we had thought. I was tired and Minna tried to keep me awake. Surprisingly we found Battery energy drink, Made in Finland, from a gas station at Port Macquarie.
We arrived at Raymond Terrace at 4 am in the morning and after a 5-hour sleep we headed towards Cessnock and Hunter Valley. Learning from the mistake we made yesterday, we booked a hotel immediately on arrival. We chose Best Western and tommorrow we will change into another one.
