Plan B

Okay, so we didn't get off to an early start at all!

It was bloody cold in Toowoomba this morning, so we stayed under the blankets and didn't actually leave the room until 9am!

Instead of finding the lovely morning light somewhere for photographs, we went for breakfast, and then we SHOPPED!

We didn't leave town until 11am.

We headed for Stanthorpe in search of the elusive passionfruit fudge.

BGWLBH bought some on the first road trip up and every other place that we found after that, had every flavour EXCEPT passionfruit. So the mission was to return to Stanthorpe to restock on passionfruit fudge.

It was our first stop in Stanthorpe. We found the Deli and burst through the door, heading straight to the rear of the shop where we had found it a month ago.

Nothing.

We asked the girl behind the counter. "Where is all the fudge?"

"Oh" she replied "The man was supposed to bring the new stock yesterday, but he didn't turn up. Would you like me to phone him and see if he is bringing it in today?"

Well, that was a stupid question really.

She phoned him, but he didn't answer. She left a message. We headed off to find some lunch and agreed to return later with the hope that he would have received the message and dropped off the fudge.

Nothing. **sad face**

So our trek was fruitless and once again we left yet another establishment 'passionfruit fudge-less'.

By now, it was 2.30pm and we needed to get to Bald Rock, where we wanted to get some sunset shots. We knew that it was a 7km round trip walk to Little Bald Rock, so that was pretty much out of the question now that we were arriving so late.

We arrived at the starting point at about 3.10pm and decided that we would walk to Bald Rock and do the 2.5 km round trip.

It was quite uninspiring and the light still wasn't quite what we'd hoped. The lower the sun got, the more shade from the forest covered the rock, so a sunset shot was not going to be impressive. Obviously, from the photos that we have seen, Little Bald Rock is the place to be for sunset shots.

So after some tender tree hugging, we returned to the car and headed off towards Tenterfield.

We made a couple of stops along the way.

It was the right time of day for wildlife to be out and about too.

We are spending the night in Tenterfield. Nice little motel. We unpacked the car and dumped everything in the room, and decided to go for a walk to find some take away instead of going out for dinner.

Of the four cafes/restaurants that we found on the main street, within walking distance of our motel, none of them had one 'gluten free' meal, so in desperation, we opted to go to the supermarket and buy some salad to make our own dinner.

After returning to the motel room, we discovered a sign on the bench for the motel's room service! Doh! What's worse ... 80% of the meals were classed as 'gluten-free'!!

So I dub today as 'Plan B' day and it's a perfect example of why we don't usually plan anything!

Nite all.
