Day 13: Bundanoon to Shellharbour
|
Had a nice sleep in this morning. Left the hostel just after 9am. It had been raining lightly since first thing this morning. So I had all my waterproofs on to keep me nice and dry. About 15kms later the rain changed to a fog/mist.

A little further I stopped at Robertson for lunch at the famous pie shop. Thankfully I wasn't 10 minutes later, as 2 full minibuses of grannies pulled in and the queue was out the door. Robertson also as one other landmark, the giant potato. No idea why.

Halfway down Jamberoo Mountain Road |
At the bottom it was really raining. Rode mostly back roads to Shellharbour. Have set up the tent for the last time on this trip at the caravan park here.
Shellharbour is about 20kms south of Wollongong. It is a holiday place next to the beach and a small habour. On the main street there are 4 fish and chip shops next door to each other. All empty, most likely because it has been raining for most of the day.
Tomorrow is the last day of this tour. If it stops raining I'll be riding the coast road through Royal National Park and then getting the ferry from Bundenna to Cronulla. If the rain is still pretty bad will jump on the train at Wollongong instead. Let's hope it's nice.
