We had a nice tranquil moment at the Union Café in morning in Robe. I need to mention this, because we didn’t have many tranquil moments during the whole trip, even though we had promised to ourselves to take it easy this time. I drove 4750 kilometres in three weeks with the “high end Toyota” but I still managed to leave the car occasionally. Back to Union Café. It was packed and full of locals. We managed to get a table close to the window and enjoy the people in and outside. Ritva had French Toast that was a sight and tasty too.


After relaxing breakfast we started driving towards Beachport and Bowman Scenic Drive.




Highly recommend. Huge waves and beautiful scenery, once again. Look at the pictures if you don’t believe me. I’m running out of words.

The sea’s color was absolutely breathtaking, a rich turquoise that sparkled brilliantly under the blazing sunlight, forming a vivid contrast with the frothy white waves crashing against the shore. The waves were the largest we encountered throughout our journey, rising majestically, due to the wind. With the sun positioned directly overhead, the intense light created challenges in capturing the true magnitude and strength of the waves. I did my very best, with enthusiasm and determination to tackle this task, hoping to preserve a snapshot of that mesmerizing moment, but the interplay of bright light and color made it remarkably difficult—if not entirely futile—to truly express the stunning beauty of what I was experiencing. With nothing but admiration for nature’s spectacle, I realized that some moments are best cherished in our memories.(RS)
