Day 5

Devonport to Coles Bay (written by Emma).

After having a brief breakfast at the Novotel, we headed off on our journey to Coles Bay. Not long after setting off, I got sidetracked by the chocolate factory, House of Anvers. Catherine was rather unhappy to have stopped so early in the journey, eager to get to the final destination, but she soon warmed to the idea. After a quick look at the history of Chocolate and deeply observing the workers making the delicious treats, we got to the bit I was looking forward to most… The chocolate shop. After a long and hard decision-making, we made our choices. Me and Catherine chose to buy chocolate for our friends (and ourselves) on the way back, and Daddy got a bar of white chocolate and some truffles, which I’m sure he’ll share.

Continuing our journey, we had a morning tea break at Launceston, enjoying some Chocolate Frogs that Mummy bought us. After we had eaten the amphibians, we went to the market and bought most of our groceries, fresh and organic.

Then me and Daddy went to find some lawn fixings for our Cool Cabana, but instead got me a snood. Mummy and Catherine went to a ginormous camping shop, Anaconda, to buy thongs (flip flops in English) and a water bottle. We then drove to find lunch at a Food truck, just in time before closing.

We arrived at Coles Bay, at last. After unloading the car, we set off to the busy Ice cream shop to have a well-deserved treat. To burn off some energy, we went scrambling on the shore. Mummy and Daddy went off to do a short walk, and some shopping, and we headed back to the holiday cottage to play some Uno. To end the day we all helped to cook dinner using the sausages from the Farmers Market. They were delicious.
