Day 15. Esperance

Today was a day to travel to Esperance. It is the ANZAC Day public holiday. The road was the most active we have seen all holiday. Maybe it was the day. Maybe it was the location. We arrived in Esperance too early to check in, so we went looking for a morning cup of coffee. It was 10:30.

We finally settled for the only place we could find a coffee, the first and brand new McDonald's in Esperance. I am not a fan of this company nor its products, but they were the only one we could find open. I do confirm that I found their McCafe coffee very good. We had some time to waste, so we drove around for a while. We found a supermarket which was open as well as a laundromat. We saved that information for later.

The time came for lunch and we found only the second food place open today, a fish and chip shop across the road from Maccas.

In the afternoon we settled in to the unit and relaxed. We are going to do a fair bit of relaxing here over the next three days.

We later bought some provisions from the IGA. Our grocery bill was $50, which will sustain us during our visit. This is equal to the amount we paid last night for the second worst meal we have ever had, at the Port Hotel in Hopetoun. The honour for our worst meal goes to Hotel Tiffany at Trezzano Sul Naviglio on the outskirts of Milano, Italia during our visit in 2008.

Tomorrow we are doing some exploring
